  Sustainable Neighbourhoods Lake Macquarie
Sustainable Neighbourhoods virtual catch up
Join us for a virtual gathering of Sustainable Neighbourhood volunteers from around Lake Macquarie. Let's keep connected, and share ideas about progressing sustainability now and into the future.
Sustainable Neighbourhoods Network Catch Up
Wednesday 29 April, 3-5pm

Via Zoom. Registrations essential at https://us04web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcpcu6tqDgihL_l8yChGxehauoKFm25_g. Once registered, we’ll send you instructions on how to join.
We’ll be asking each group to provide a 6 minute report about:
  • How is your group operating within physical distancing restrictions? Any projects still happening?
  • A lesson or idea for Sustainable Neighbourhoods that this pandemic has inspired. What positive new behaviours can we encourage and sustain in the longer term.
  • What’s the first thing your group will do when restrictions are removed?
We’ll be strictly facilitating the session to help manage a large group of people online. Please:
  • Use your video if you can – It’s much nicer to be able to see each other.
  • Mute your microphone when not speaking.
  • Take direction from the Chair. Only one person speaking at a time.
  • Use the ‘Raise hand’ function if you’d like to speak. (Feel free to use the other Reactions during the meeting as well.)
  • We’ll open the meeting at 2:45pm, so that we can have a quick hello and sort out any technical problems prior to a 3pm start.
All welcome! Looking forward to 'seeing' you there.
There's a Facebook event here if you want to share.

Sustainable Neighbourhoods Lake Macquarie
Our vision - Neighbourhoods that are empowered to live sustainably.
Our mission - Our work is to foster sustainable neighbourhoods and a healthy environment in Lake Macquarie
Our values - We are guided by our values of participation, inclusion, collaboration, empowerment and shared responsibility.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and waters on which we live, work and play, the Awabakal People, and acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who now reside in this area. We pay our respect to Elders past and present, and future cultural knowledge holders.

The Lake Macquarie Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance is registered as a not for profit incorporated association under NSW Fair Trading. Sustainable Neighbourhood activities are managed and governed by volunteers and financed through grants, collaboration and community fundraising.
