National Centre for Sustainability

The National Centre for Sustainability (NCS) operates from the Mildura & Swan Hill campuses of SuniTAFE. It works with local stakeholders, community and government agencies to achieve sustainability gains in land and water management across the region. To achieve this, the Centre:

  • identifies potential sustainability gains
  • initiates sustainability projects
  • engages community partners
  • enhances the capacity of partners
  • implements physical change
  • provides project management

The Centre's latest project is the construction of an Eco-Living Demonstration Centre at the Swan Hill campus.

The NCS works with community partners to make our landscapes and natural resources more sustainable.

It acts as a project broker, harnessing resources, coordinating teams and project managing initiatives that improve the physical sustainability of our natural resources, while developing the capacity of communities to implement positive change.

Specialist NCS staff are currently working with over 40 dryland farmers to develop environmental action plans for their properties. We also have a variety of successful programs employing Koorie work teams to conserve local natural and cultural resources.
