WELCOME!
The Central West Environment Council.
CWEC is an umbrella network of district environment groups in the Central West of NSW. Member groups are based in Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Lithgow, Mudgee, Rylstone and other parts of the region. We provide the opportunity for groups to share their experiences, swap campaigning tips, get help and advice and to socialise.
Environmental NEWS
Climate and coal action rally in Bathurst on 27 April 2022.
This protest was to highlight the need to stop opening up areas for coal mining and to take real action to mitigate climate change was really well attended by CWEC representatives from all over the Central West (despite the pouring rain!). Well done guys.
A follow up letter has been sent to Paul Toole, MP - see the submissions page.
We now have a Facebook page for members.
We have three new members in 2021
Canobolas Conservation Alliance
Dubbo Environment Group
Futuring Orange
Welcome. To contact, see 'member groups' page
CWEC is still meeting mostly by zoom, but the AGM will hopefully be face-to-face.
And we are also looking for ideas on how to celebrate CWE'S 30 birthday next year.
Our AGM was also by zoom. No change in committee this year.
REGIONAL PLAN A new submission has been done on the Central West and Orange Regional Plan 2041. This is a significant document setting the future of development in the CW for 20 years and CWEC made many suggestions for improvement.
