Sustainable future on show

Northern Tasmania’s first sustainable living festival, an initiative of TamarNRM, was held in October, showcasing over 90 exhibitors and stallholders.

Designed to highlight diverse living options with a focus on teaching and guiding the community on how to live a happier, healthier and more sustainable future, more than 1800 people walked through the festival held at Windsor Park. Notable presenters included Planet Ark co-founder Jon Dee and a cooking presentation from world-famous chef and former head chef of Franklin in Hobart, Analiese Gregory.

A true community event, the festival was supported by more than 50 volunteers from a range of service clubs. A focus on ensuring the event was accessible to all, Pay it Forward tickets were made available and free courtesy buses from the northern suburbs to the event provided by Federal Member for Bass Bridget Archer.
