What we're doing next

• We’re planning a series of workshops to be held in Bermagui this year, focused on renewable energy, energy cost savings, and other key sustainability issues. These will run regularly throughout 2025 and into 2026 - keep an eye out for the program, which we are planning to release in the next few weeks. 

• We’re working on launching our website, which will help us share the latest information to help make your home or business more energy efficient, and to keep you up to date on relevant events, technology and news.

• We’ve joined the Rewiring Australia online network of Electric Communities, and are working on incorporating many of their great resources into the information on our website and for future events.

• We’re seeking funding and other support for our activities such as workshops and events. (As all of us are volunteers, any funding goes directly towards paying for the community activities we set up – and a little can go a long way!)

Are you great with social media, and keen to help with the Renewable Bermagui vision?

Renewable Bermagui is looking for one more volunteer to join us, to help grow our social media, online presence, and community outreach.



If you're comfortable using Instagram, Facebook, email newsletters, and possibly even website management (or eager to learn any of these!), and you share our mission of improving education and access to renewable and sustainable technologies in our community, we’d love to hear from you!



This volunteer role would take about 8-10 hours per month on average, but could vary depending on workshops and events we've got planned. But - we are all volunteers and of course flexible to adapt to changing schedules and other priorities. If you're interested, please reach out for a chat at [email protected].

Get in Touch

We’re keen to more actively use our social media as a platform to tell your stories about the need for better local energy reliability and to share ideas about how we can improve our community’s resilience. We’d love to hear from you if you have a story you’d like us to help share.
