Net-zero focus

North Beaches Council transformed the Narrabeen Tramshed Community Arts Centre and Berry Reserve into its innovative initiative, Net Zero Expo on Sunday 2 June, 2024 to showcase all things sustainable and renewable.

The Council is committed to empowering its community to take proactive steps toward a greener future. The Net Zero Expo represents a significant milestone in this journey, bringing together the individuals, families, local businesses and environmental advocates to drive positive change.

The Expo was structured around five dynamic ‘hubs’ dedicated to key sustainability themes: home electrification, solar energy, reuse and recycling, sustainable living, and green transport. Each hub will provide attendees with valuable insights, practical tips, and hands-on experiences aimed at empowering them to make meaningful changes in their emissions-intensive lifestyles.

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the inaugural Expo was aimed at helping the community improve its green credentials.

“Council believes that collective action is paramount in addressing the pressing environmental challenges we face today. By empowering individuals and fostering a sense of community, Net Zero Expo seeks to inspire lasting change and pave the way for a more sustainable tomorrow.

“The day was be brimming with eye-opening revelations, money saving strategies and the latest advancements in sustainable technology. Whether you explored the eco-friendly transportation options or learnt about home electrification, there was something for everyone at this transformative event. There were even be opportunities to test-drive electric cars, ebikes and mopeds.

“Renowned environmental advocate and ABC’s War on Waste warrior, Craig Reucassel, was MC of a series of discussion panels featuring net zero pioneers sharing practical and achievable ways to simplify your lifestyle, potentially save money and reduce emissions.”
