Sustainability Festival
Semester 253, Week 4 (7-9 October 2025)
This year’s Sustainability Festival invites staff and students to explore bold new ideas around waste, reuse, and regeneration. Under the theme “Waste and the Circular Economy” we’ll be shining a spotlight on how we can transform our systems, habits, and thinking to build a more sustainable future together.
Join us for a variety of events and activities designed to highlight how we can generate positive change. Let’s make a difference together and help build a sustainable future for every inhabitant on Earth.
Events
Many of the events will include a lucky door prize drawn at the end of the session. You could win Oakley sunglasses, board shorts, a t-shirt, or a Gold Coast Suns gift pack.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
