Goldfields Sustainability Group

Goldfields Sustainability Group We organise regular events for our members and guests. Check out our Calendar Events for information on what’s coming up.

We are residents of the Central Goldfields Shire passionate about living sustainably right now and building a sustainable future for ourselves, our communities and the world at large. We organise regular events for our members and guests to learn about sustainable practices, get hands-on experience and to share our knowledge, skills and resources. These events may be about learning the simple tec

Or they may be about using modern technology to make more efficient use of resources, such as building wicking gardens, running an aquaponics system, or knowing the ins and outs of generating your own electricity with solar panels.

Feeling the cold this week? Cranking up the split system but a little concerned how this will impact your bills?

Come on down to the Castlemaine Library this evening (5-6pm) for a chat with our Bright Spark volunteer, Patrick. Bring your energy bills and questions, whether to check if you're on the right plan for your lifestyle, or look into what rebates/programs are available for solar power, batteries and hot water heat pumps.
