When: May 6, 2012

Like the sun rising to herald a new day of light and warmth, there’s something new rising in Sydney’s urban east to herald a new dawn of sustainable urban living—theRandwick Sustainability Education Hub.

The retrofitted community centre, with its photovoltaic panel array, wind turbine, interior improvements for energy and water efficiency, rainwater harvesting and storage and PIG (Permaculture Interpretive Garden) offers a plethora of take-home ideas that you can do in your own home and garden.

In the PIG you will find easy-to-copy examples home landscaping, garden water management and food production to stimulate your own efforts in modern, creative living. The PIG is also a fine example of the principle of multiple-use in permaculture design, combining a public park and edible, educational landscape.
