Illawarra Branch
Illawarra Branch
The Illawarra branch started operation in October 2016 with a meeting of local Renew members. Since then we have run a number of successful activities and participated in the UOW Global Climate Change Week activities.
The Illawarra Branch generally meets at UOW Innovation Campus (Squires Way, North Wollongong) – ITAMS Building.
We meet on the unceded lands of the Dharawal, Wadi Wadi, and Yuin people.
We organise a number of activities during the year and assist with major events such as Everything Electric and Sustainable House Day.
Convenor – Greg Knight
