The centrepiece of celebrations at the new-look centre will be a community open day on Saturday, 18 February, where Moloney will deliver a keynote address and join a panel to share tips on ‘Embracing a good life in Lake Mac’.

“Umali barai-ku means ‘to do for the earth’ in Awabakal language, and that’s the rallying call we’re inviting our community to embrace through these celebrations,” said Lake Macquarie Mayor Kay Fraser.

Built on the site of the former Landcare Resource Centre at Booragul, the Landcare and Sustainable Living Centre features

indoor and outdoor community meeting spaces, as well as updated kitchen and office spaces for Council staff and volunteers.
