Welcome to Our Living Coast!
From Nambucca to Bellingen and Coffs Harbour, explore local events, workshops and inspiration for sustainable living across the Coffs Coast. Discover practical ways to live more sustainably, strengthen your connection to nature, and support a healthy, balanced and meaningful way of life.
In 2009, three Councils on the Mid North Coast – the City of Coffs Harbour, Bellingen Shire Council and Nambucca Valley Council formed an alliance to work together with residents towards a more sustainable region.
The objectives of the Alliance are to:
- improve biodiversity and sustainability outcomes
- increase the community’s ability to achieve environmental improvements and conserve biodiversity in urban areas
- improve the three councils’ response to sustainability
- build and strengthen local and regional partnerships for better environmental and sustainability outcomes
Stay in the loop with 'What's On!' by signing up to our newsletter, a collaboration between all three councils to ensure we all work together to respect and nuture this wonderful place we live.

City of Coffs Harbour Sustainable Living Programs
The City of Coffs Harbour’s Sustainable Living Program is funded by the City of Coffs Harbour Environmental Levy and supports our community to live more sustainably and care for our local environment.
Through hands‑on workshops, free to low cost events, the program aims to share simple, achievable ways to reduce our impact, live lightly and connect to nature. Programs run throughout the year and are promoted seasonally, with opportunities available for all ages and experience levels. School holiday programs are also offered, so be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming activities and booking information!
From nature retreats and bushwalking experiences to environmental education sessions, turtle tours and practical waste‑reduction ideas, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn from.
For those looking for a deeper, long‑term experience, the program also offers a Nature Apprenticeship, a 9‑month immersive learning journey designed to build skills, knowledge and a strong connection to nature through hands‑on experiences and guided learning.
