Come along to our 2025 Inspired Living Series panel to participate in a meaningful discussion on eco-anxiety and hope.
Bronwyn Gresham - Compassionate Nature
Bronwyn is a psychologist, climate aware practitioner and eco-anxiety speaker. Her purpose is in progressing our personal and collective emotional and social wellbeing as we live in climate change. This includes how climate change impacts people and communities directly (through extreme weather events and biodiversity loss) and indirectly (such as feeling uncertain, dread or anxiety about the future, or grief for extinctions and ecosystem loss). Yet, radical acceptance – that is, accepting what is happening and seeing this with our eyes and hearts open – is a prerequisite for compassionate, responsive and effective action.
Lee Constable
Lee Constable is a science and sustainability presenter and edu-tainer. She is best known for hosting Network 10 kids’ science TV show Scope. Her TV appearances also include Studio 10, ABC News Breakfast and War on Waste (Season Three). Lee is the author of How to Save the Whole Stinkin’ Planet: A Garbological Adventure and How to Save the Whole Blinkin' Planet: A Renewable Energy Adventure.

Before embarking on building, renovating, tree removal/lopping or any other works, it is important to ascertain whether you require a permit.
Planning permits and building permits serve different purposes.
A planning permit is required to ensure that your project complies with the relevant zoning and overlay controls applicable to your property and to ensure that your project considers its impact on the surrounding area with respect to character, built form and materials, surrounding neighbours, traffic, environmental impacts and community need.
A building permit focuses on the technical aspects of construction and safety ensuring that your project complies with the relevant building codes and regulations.
Links to the relevant controls are:
Here are some common projects that need approval - contact us even if your project is not listed here:

You will need the permit to ensure what you're hoping to construct or change is done right and to building code standards.
You may need permits for connecting to infrastructure, protection of public assets and more. Often you will find out which permits you need throughout the process, so it is always best to discuss your plans with us or industry professionals.

Did you know that Australian households send approximately 250kg of food to landfill every year, and that food waste is one of the top three producers of carbon emissions in the world?
It makes sense to change our food waste habits if we want to reduce our overall carbon footprint. The good news is that a little bit of creativity with your ‘scraps’ can have a huge impact.
Join permaculture and sustainability educator, Anna The Urban Nanna, to learn why and how to flip your relationship with food waste for good, by adopting ‘scraptastic’ approaches in the kitchen.
This free face-to-face presentation will help you learn how to make the absolute most of your weekly shop to not only reduce your food waste output, but also reduce your shopping bill too. The presentation includes an in-depth exploration of scraptasatic cooking options and ideas; a presentation table/display of various scraptastic creations; and examples of useful books and resources to help you get the most out of your scraps.
This session includes tasting samples, so please specify any allergies at the time of registration.
Registration is required and spots are limited.
