Celebrate our most precious resource, water

Come celebrate our most precious resource, water, at free workshops, screenings and guided tours as part of National Water Week this month.

The City of Coffs Harbour program is designed to connect the community to our local waterways and encourage waterwise practices at home, and in the garden.

National Water Week runs from 16 to 22 October and inspires individuals, communities, and organisations to build awareness around the value of water.  This year’s theme is ‘United by Water’.

“The Bureau of Meteorology has declared that Australia is experiencing an El Niño weather event. We are anticipating hot and dry conditions over the coming months and some North Coast residents are already feeling the impact,” said Director City Infrastructure Andrew Beswick.

“Events like this help us all focus on what we can do to better conserve water every day.”

Can’t make it to an event? Check out the special water-wise flower beds that are being installed in the CBD this Spring.

The flower beds are designed to showcase flower varieties that thrive in our region with minimal water. The plantings are an initiative of the City of Coffs Harbour and Coffs City Centre.
