Sydney West Branch

Sydney West Branch

Please note: Due to the current staff restructure at Renew the position of Branch Coordinator is being discontinued. Our Renew branches have been instructed not to plan events from mid-July until the end of August 2020. We hope that after that time systems will be in place to allow branch events to resume.

Please note: Due to the COVID-19 situation all our meetings are moving to online webinars for the foreseeable future. Meeting details will be posted here (below) and online through our member email bulletins and Facebook page. Webinars from other branches will also be available and details will be here: renew.org.au/events

The Renew Sydney West Branch meets at the Hawkesbury EarthCare Centre, Western Sydney University, Richmond, NSW.

The Centre features extensive permaculture and native gardens, water tanks and a solar passive community building constructed from strawbale, rammed earth and mud bricks. The Hawkesbury Artist Group and the Henry Doubleday Research Association are also located at the centre.

WSU Solar Car site visit

We recently had a fascinating visit to the WSU Solar Car team workshop. This is the team that won the 2018 American Solar Challenge.
