Want to Want to Save on Electricity Bills

Save on Electricity Bills

A colourful community event flyer with the headline “Want to save on electricity bills?” in large bold text. Below it are icons and graphics promoting energy savings, including a light bulb, dollar symbols, and a cartoon of a stressed person holding their head. A photo shows a child pedalling a stationary bike connected to lights. Text on the flyer advertises activities such as riding a bike that generates electricity, learning about switching from gas to electric to save $2400–$4000 per year, and getting information on rebates, batteries, and solar. Event details read: “Thurs. 24/9, 3–4:30pm, Alec Roberts, Chairman of CLEANaS, 24 Milson St. Charlestown. Bring the kids! Afternoon tea provided.” Logos for Inspiring Australia, the Australian Government initiative, Greater Charlestown Sustainable Neighbourhood Group, CLEANaS, Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance Lake Macquarie, and Milson Street Hub appear along the bottom. A phone number, 0493 094 231, is provided for booking.

Living Smart Festival

A busy day was had at the 2017 Living Smart Festival at Speers Point Park. This is run by Lake Macquarie Council and they did a great job (considering the park is being refurbished at the moment). Thanks to our volunteers that helped out on the day and to Peter who raced around to get our new banner (pictured) for the day.
