About the Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability
*The Coal Loader recently won two awards!
The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability is an exciting regional community resource in Waverton. Everyone is welcome!
Officially opened in July 2011, the Coal Loader has been transformed from an ex-industrial site to a place where you can be inspired by best-practice sustainable technology, community gardens, native bush nursery, regenerated park lands and much more. The Coal Loader showcases innovation, enables hands-on learning about sustainability in everyday life, and serves as a community meeting point and hub for Council's extensive range of environmental and sustainability programs.
