Our Buninyong community – why we love it
From the locals who came to Buninyong as a founding family, to the new locals who have chosen this patch as their place to settle, the value of the wonderful community spirit of Buninyong is a bonus to the beautiful landscape and historic buildings.
The redevelopment of Royal Park as a demonstration of the sustainable future we all need to move towards, is very much a community project - For the community, by the community.
Working groups spread the load, focus the effort, help with a succession plan, and continue to foster our community spirit.
We invite you to be a part of Royal Park’s redevelopment!
Buninyong Sustainability has created a number of working groups that you can participate in – whether that be a little or a lot! You can share your expertise or gain some new skills. The Working Groups include:
Help run the Smart Living Expo
Our main event for the year, and held in the last week of February as the Western Victorian part of the National Sustainablilty Festival.
Organistion for this runs from about May, so pretty much all year - the 2023 event will be our 9th year.
We need: contacts, admin, marketing, sponsors, lots of expo workers on the day - please contact the Expo director, Andrea Mason via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or sign up to help!
EV for the Expo
Our 2016 Expo focused on Electric Vehicles, and funds were raised to put towards building an electric car charging point in destination Buninyong.
This project has been deliverd now, with the help of Buninyong Community Bank, and the City of Ballarat. The Buninyong EV charging point was officially opened in January of 2020.
Keeping in contact with retailers of EVs and EV owners (bikes, motor bikes and all kinds of cars) is a part of the Expo team, each year. We aim for the largest display of electric vehicles in Western Victoria.
Community Arts Garden Group
