SUMMARY:Site visit: Perth City Farm\, engineered for circularity
DESCRIPTION:Site visit: Perth City Farm\, engineered for circularity\nIn recognition of National Volunteer Week\, join Engineers Australia for a special site tour at Perth City Farm. This tour offers volunteers the opportunity to explore circular economy principles in action and see how sustainable systems are applied within an urban farming environment. \nPerth City Farm is an ideal setting to showcase practical circularity\, from composting and soil regeneration to resource reuse and community-led sustainability education. This facility highlights a shared commitment to minimising waste\, regenerating natural systems and designing for long-term environmental resilience. \nCircular economy thinking aligns closely with Engineers Australia’s focus on sustainable infrastructure\, climate‑conscious design\, ethical practice and innovation\, and reinforces the themes of World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development\, which recognises the essential role engineers play in shaping a sustainable and resilient future.
