The Waverton Coal Loader: A transformative hub for sustainability, featuring community gardens, native bush nursery, and innovative sustainable technologies, all set against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour's rich industrial history.
The Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability (the Coal Loader) is the face of sustainability at North Sydney Council. Located on the Waverton waterfront, the Coal Loader is a place to relax, be inspired, grab a coffee or lunch, and learn. It is a platform for the delivery of a wide range of sustainability programs and a location where people can visit to be inspired to make changes for sustainability in their lives. It is a community meeting point and hub for the Council's extensive range of environmental and sustainability programs and a site with an interesting history as an ex-industrial coal bunkering site on Sydney Harbour. It has been transformed into a place that displays best-practice sustainable technology, community gardens, native bush nursery, food gardens, regenerated parklands and fascinating history.
