We’re thrilled that Narara Ecovillage was a finalist in the Placemaking Category of the 2024 NSW Banksia Awards, celebrating trailblazers in sustainability! 🎉 Honoured alongside leading projects across NSW, this recognition highlights our impact in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Narara Ecovillage team—Verena MacLean, Sam Parris, and Scout De Kalb (14-year-old future sustainability leader)—attended the inspiring ceremony. The Placemaking Award was shared by Central Station Metro and Glebe Aboriginal Women’s Housing, showcasing the diversity of sustainable initiatives.
Following this, we joined the Central Coast Eco-Tourism Industry Breakfast, leading to Talking up the Coast, where we celebrated eco-tourism achievements with Mayor Lawrie McKinna and Deputy Mayor Doug Eaton.
This momentum reinforces NEV as a leader in sustainability and placemaking, and we’re excited to continue sharing our journey— perhaps you might participate in 2025’s National awards!
