Green Living Centre

The Green Living Centre is a sustainability initiative of Inner West Council.

We deliver free workshops and events to inspire and educate residents to create a Sustainable Inner West. We also attend festivals, and in 2020 coordinated a range of talks and webinars for Footprints Online. The Centre is bursting with sustainable goodness and runs free workshops, talks, personal advice and simple ideas for everyday sustainable living.
