Bass Coast Shire Council are excited to partner with Bass Coast Adult Learning (BCAL), South Gippsland Shire Council, Renew and the community gardens across the Shire to deliver Living Lightly Bass Coast. This initiative includes a series of workshops aimed to help the community live more sustainably. The workshops will be hosted online and in-person, and will cover topics such as energy, food, gardening and circular economy. Most workshops are free to attend and will be presented by experts that will focus on making your home and community more sustainable and resilient.
