Helping reduce our power bills and impact on the town, we installed a new 99kw system in July 2023
INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE
Cabarita Beach Sports Club teamed up with Byron Collage to collobarate ‘Introduction to Permaculture’. It was a wonderful day for people to gain knowledge on the key elements of Permaculture and how to integrate this into your home garden system.
We touched on Permacultures foundations, zones, mapping, the soil food web, integrated pest management, compost, perennial species, weeds and integrated animal systems.
Cabarita Beach powered up with new EV fast charging station
The future of sustainable transport is rolling into Northern New South Wales with the opening of a new electric vehicle (EV) fast charging station as the NSW Government rolls out the most extensive EV charging network in the country.
The high-power chargers at the new Cabarita Beach station will fill EV batteries faster and will allow 4 EVs to be charged at once.
Motorists will benefit as multiple EVs can charge from 10 to 80% in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. These are the most powerful type of EV charger and are designed to help time-poor drivers.
The new station was co-funded by the NSW Government’s Fast Charging grants program, a $149 million investment to develop a world-class fast charging network across the state.
The site features:
- two (2) ABB chargers (T360kW & T184) providing up to 360kW across four (4) parking bays.
- Additional AC Charger available – BYOC – Bring your own cable
- Depending on car make and model and battery at time of charge, a car plugged in to one of our 180kW chargers can achieve up to 200km of charge in 10 minutes.
- 4 cars to be charged concurrently, with a 5th, available via a AC charger- built for redundancy in the network.
