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.
Busy time April 2020! CWEC has done three submissions/letter this week re the Macquarie Pipeline, the federal environment legislation (EPBC Act) review and the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry.
