Perth Branch

Perth Branch
We’re doing our best, here in the West, to promote Renew’s mission of transforming Australian homes for climate and energy resilience, and you are very welcome to join us. All are welcome at our regular Renew Perth Branch talks and events.
We’re keen to mesh ourselves into the whole network of like-minded organisations. We’d love to hear from other Perth and WA organisations with a sustainability focus, to start building all the synergies that we can.
The Perth Branch meetings move around – see next event for next venue.
We have a strong focus on Sustainable House Day, and keep an eye out for other upcoming events.
Convenor: Carlos Acuna
Committee Members: Petrice Koelewyn, Kim Wilkinson, Jessica Kennedy, Jillian Horton, Anette Bohm, Sunny Miller, Martin Nikolowski, Michael Norris, Wendy Lugg, and Keith Hutchings.
