The Australian Design Council has proudly awarded the inaugural Design Impact Award to the National Centre for Circularity project in the Bega Valley, dubbing it a transformational initiative with the power to reshape an entire region’s economy!
The Impact Award has been revived to build awareness of how good design positively impacts a business, sector or an entire region.
The Bega Circular Valley 2030 program aims to create Australia’s most Circular Regional Economy in Bega Valley Shire. It implements projects across various sectors facilitated by a community cooperative. The program seeks to build a resilient, sustainable economy while addressing environmental and social challenges.
Funded by the NSW Government and Bega Group, the National Centre for Circularity will be built by the Regional Circularity Co-operative (RCC) in Bega over the coming two years is.
The centre will showcase the circular economy transition of the Bega Valley and be a leader for efforts across the country and internationally. It goes beyond sustainability, and it is more than recycling. It’s about changing the way we create, consume and reuse resources.
