UPCOMING EVENT: BEGA CIRCULAR ECONOMY COMMUNITY WORKSHOP​

28/05/2025​

In late May we’ll be hosting a community workshop with leaders from across the Bega Valley to explore our vision for circularity in the region.​

The workshop will be jointly led by the RCC and CSIRO, and supported by the Bega Valley Shire Council, Bega Group, NSW Government and University of Wollongong.

CIRCULAR TOURISM ROUNDTABLES​

27–28/03/2025​

Facilitated by The Destination Agency, the RCC sat down with sustainable tourism operators from across the Bega Valley to explore what becoming more circular could mean for one of the region’s most important industries. We also explored what new opportunities the National Circularity Centre will bring when it opens in late 2026 – from increased visitor numbers to creating new circular tourism experiences.

CIRCULAR FUTURES 2024
15/08/2024​

Jointly led by Scott Baker at the Department of Regional NSW and the RCC, and held in the Bega Valley’s Commemorative Civic Centre, this event saw leading circularity focused organisations engaging with local High School students to explore what the circular jobs of the future might look like.​

Exhibitors included Bega Group, the Bega Valley Shire Council, CSIRO, Essential Energy, Grow the Future, Local Landcare Services, NBN Co., NGH Consulting and Repair Café.

COMMUNITY ENERGY WORKSHOP
14/08/2024​

Led by Simon Wright of Charles Sturt University and involving net-zero energy focused community leaders and organisations from across the Bega Valley Shire and beyond, this workshop explored the potential to develop Australia’s first community-wide net zero energy transition roadmap and how best to support an initial energy transition program.​

It built on the great work already completed by groups like Renewable Cobargo and Clean Energy for Eternity and has fed into our ongoing renewable energy efforts.

CIRCULAR ADVANTAGE FIHERIES AND AQUACULTURE WORKSHOPS
2024–2025, Merimbula, Adelaide and Brisbane​

The RCC and FRDC have, to date, hosted three ‘Circular Advantage Workshops’ with businesses and innovators within the fishing and aquaculture sectors to explore the principles of the circular economy and how it relates to the industry.​

Designed as 3-day immersive forum, each workshop explored how the circular economy fits within existing ESG frameworks and reporting methodologies, as well as showcasing circularity businesses and exploring the opportunities that circularity can provide.

NATIONAL CIRCULARITY CENTRE LAUNCH​
16–17/11/2023​

In November 2023 we ran a series of roundtables, panel discussions and events to announce the plans for the National Circularity Centre (NCC) in Bega to the community.​

This event involved all the RCC’s partners and was attended by a true cross section of all the different communities in the Bega Valley.​
