Communicate Tips For Sustainable Living

It is hoped that Mawson Lakes Environment Watch members will be aware of the environmental consequences of their chosen lifestyle and to that end Tips for Sustainable living are communicated and shared by members.

The Newsletter provides a means of communication for members and The Mawson Lakes Community Website has provided an avenue of communication to a wider audience through its ‘Community Announcements’
