RWMF Open Day

The Alice Springs Masters Games (ASMG) will be back in 2023 with the famous event to be held from 14-21 October.

Easily the most iconic Masters Games in the country, the unique location sets ASMG apart from the rest, with participants able to combine bucket-list experiences with a fun sporting event. The confirmation of dates also sees Expressions of Interest (EOI) open for sports keen on being involved in ASMG. “The Alice Springs Masters Games is a much-loved Territory event that welcomes new and repeat competitors from all over the country and overseas – which is great for local businesses and our economy,” Minister for Major Events Paul Kirby said. “It’s fantastic to see the Games return after being affected by COVID. We’ve seen how events such as Parrtjima and Red CentreNATS deliver full hotels and a bustling CBD – and that’s exactly what these games will continue to do. “If you’re involved in a Territory sport and want to see it included in next year’s Games, get your Expression of Interest in now.” Former competitors can get involved in the ASMG by entering the Legends Competition to score themselves a $100 Discover Central Australia Tourism Voucher. Simply visit the ASMG website and share a story and image (optional) for the chance to win. It might be a memorable moment, an inspiring experience or even a mishap that turned out alright in the end. There are three vouchers up for grabs.

Maybe you’ve pondered, just how big is the facility? Or perhaps what makes up a day in the life of the dedicated team at the RWMF? Well, wonder no more. The landfill is about to open its doors to the public! The RWMF will host its second annual Open Day on Sunday 7 August 2022 and are inviting the entire public to come down to learn more about their waste. “We get a lot of random phone calls from people asking what we do with waste and where everything goes,” RWMF Manager Oliver Eclipse said. “We wanted to focus on those people that care; open our doors and let them in. This way they get to see exactly what happens, hang out with us for a day and ask any questions they would like. We really want to give more information to the general public that we serve.” The highlight of the Open Day will be free bus tours around the entire facility. That means you will get to see exactly what happens to waste on a daily basis, something that is usually closed to the general public. “A really great thing about the tour is I get to tell everyone ‘what you put in your bin goes there’ and ‘if you separate the cans out, that’s where they go’. We want to start changing behaviours,” Oliver said. The RWMF Open Day program includes:
