Current Projects

We have been making some new additions to the Hunter Wetlands Centre. In the past few months, we have build a outdoor education and events centre, started to install and repair the paths throughout the site, installing all new water tanks and solar powered hot water system and skylights to further lessen our impact on the environment .we are also about to start a major revamp of the visitor’s centre.

Local Schools Working Together

An Environmental Learning Centre is to be built at Hunter Wetlands Centre Australia through funding under the Australian Government’s Local Schools Working Together Program.The Environmental Learning Centre will be a shared education facility underpinned by a partnership between the Community sector, NSW Department of Education and Training and Catholic Schools Office. The facility will allow increased student access to the existing school education program that has operated at this location for over 20 years. The new facility will be available for students and teachers from all education sectors.  

The design of the building has been finalised in partnership with Schreiber Hamilton Architects, a local firm which is completing building work for other schools in the region. The building design is sympathetic to the location and incorporates sustainable design features both within and around the building. Building activity will begin in the second half of 2010 and it is expected that the building will be completed on 27th January 2011
