SundayJan 19 2025Nature JournalingWebsite
Take some time to find some stillness at the start of the new year and join us in beautiful Lartelare Park alongside the Port River and have a go at nature journaling.
Connect with nature while you learn to sketch, make notes and record your surrounds in a gentle, fun and supported way. Facilitated by Jenny Deans, this workshop invites you to explore your creativity and find some mindful moments considering whats growing around you, while developing your artistic skills.
No experience necessary - this relaxing workshop will introduce you to seeing nature in different ways. From complete beginners to the most experience artist, everyone will find new ways to connect through this session. All equipment provided and you will receive a notebook to take home with you and continue your nature journaling practice.
While this event is aimed at adults, families are also welcome to attend. Children will need to have a concession ticket, must be accompanied by a guardian and be appropriately supervised at all times. The workshop is generally suited to children over 8 years but may suit some younger children.
Lartelare is a beautiful, waterfront space to explore, observe and reflect. Lartelare was designed as a place to tell local Aboriginal stories and to recognise the birthplace of Lartelare. Full of local native plants, it is a space that combines indigenous culture, art, history, nature and play.
Parking is available under the Hart Street Bridge, accessed from Wirra Drive (note the nearest public toilets are a 5 minute walk away).
Please dress for the weather and remember to bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottle and snacks. In the morning, by the river, with shade from the bridge above, we should be protected from the worst of the summer heat.
We will postpone the event if the weather forecast is over 35 DecC and will notify you of this via email and sms. If we need to postpone, the backup date is Wednesday 29th Jan, 6pm - 8pm.
Please contact the Port Environment Centre if you have any mobility or access concerns.
Numbers are limited, so please let us know if you can no longer make it.

MondayJan 20 2025Culture: The Life of our City (10 yr strategic plan) - Give Community Feedback to Adelaide City Councilthrough
Desk ActionWebsiteThe City of Adelaide is developing a new Cultural Policy aimed at promoting and strengthening the city’s unique cultural identity and opportunities. A Cultural Policy will provide the framework for future decisions in relation to culture.
The development of a Cultural Policy must have the community it serves at its core. Culture, just like the city, is about people, and so the Cultural Policy will be developed through stages of consultation and planning.
Your input is crucial!
We’re in the early stages, and we need your feedback to strengthen, clarify or expand on the Themes and Priorities we’ve shared in our discussion paper.
Your feedback will guide the development of the Cultural Policy and help ensure the final policy reflects your vision and views for the cultural life of Adelaide through to 2036.
The project has two main stages:
Stage 1: Gathering insights and feedback from the community that will help shape the draft Cultural Policy. Stage 2: Asking for feedback on the draft Cultural Policy, to check we've got it right!The Cultural Policy will outline Council’s role, its vision, goals and priorities, and how it will evaluate and communicate the impact of its investment and efforts towards a culturally vibrant, socially inclusive and equitable city. Culture and creativity are critical to the City of Adelaide’s future prosperity, wellbeing and social cohesion, and the City of Adelaide is a custodian of this future.
We are currently in Stage 1 of the project. Feedback closes 5:00pm, Friday, 31 January 2025.
Complete the survey to enter the prize draw for a chance to WIN one of three $100 Adelaide Central Market Vouchers.

TuesdayJan 21 2025CAWRA Recycling Facility TourWebsite
After the popularity of our event for National Recycling Week we are heading back to our local Recycling Sorting Facility - CAWRA - to see recycling in action and learn what actually happens to our kerbside recycling when we put out our bin on bin night!
The Port Environment Centre Waste Advisory Group is passionate about recycling and public education, we want to empower you to recycle correctly and keep material out of landfill!
Join us on Tuesday January 21st at CAWRA, the Central Adelaide Waste & Recycling Authorities, MRF (Material Recycling Facility) for a behind the scenes look at how your recycling is sorted and where its goes next. The MRF is very cool, it uses infrared technology to sort mixed waste and is largely automated. There are conveyor belts and machines and all kinds of interesting technology!
The tour will include a short presentation and an opportunity to ask all your burning recycling questions, so come prepared. We are probably all guilty of "wish-cycling", which is when we pop things in the yellow bin in the hope that they will end up being recycled but the system is not currently set up to take them. If there is ANYTHING you are not certain about like putting bottle lids in a milk container, fabric, tetrapaks, ask your questions on this tour.
This tour is aimed at adults and only suitable children aged 10+. This event includes a tour of an industrial facility, any child must be under adult supervision at all times.
To tour the MRF you are required to wear closed in shoes.
For event enquiries please contact the Port Environment Centre on 0488 229 925 or email hello@portenvironmentcentre.org.au
The Port Environment Centre is funded by Green Adelaide with additional support from the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and the Suzanne Elliott Charitable Trust.
Attendee information may be used for follow up evaluation, in order to assess the longer term impacts of our events. Follow up contact may be made (in the form of a survey) but participation in any evaluation is optional.
