Hunter Region Branch

Hunter Region Branch
The Hunter Region Branch is the newest Renew branch. Our first get-together was for Sustainable House Day 2018. You can see details of our other meetings below. We’re planning further activities to get to know the local Renew members and their interests.
Note: There won’t be a meeting of the Hunter Region Branch in June 2019. Normal services will be restored for the July meeting on “Revolution in sustainability”: Q&A with the ATA Brains Trust on how you can be part of the sustainable lifestyle revolution.
The new Hunter Region Branch generally meets at the Wallsend Library on the second Sunday of the month.
The Awabakal and Worimi peoples are acknowledged as the traditional custodians of the land and waters of Newcastle.
