Picnic and celebration

Sustainable Neighbourhoods

Picnic in the Park

December 2020 at Blackalls Park

Sustainable Neighbourhood volunteers enjoyed a relaxed picnic in Blackalls Park to celebrate our achievements in a challenging year.

We took the opportunity to get together face to face, and reflect on our wonderful community connections and ongoing progress towards a sustainable city, as 2020 drew to a close.
Everyone brought a picnic lunch to keep it Covid Safe, and we enjoyed a lovely afternoon with Sustainable Neighbours from around the city.
Mayor of Lake Macquarie, Councillor Kay Fraser attended and thanked everyone for their work and efforts throughout the year.
