Repair Café

Waverley Council is partnering with community groups and residents to organise our inaugural pop-up Repair Café!

Repair Cafés first started around 2007 and are now operating across Australia and around the world as communities like Waverley commit to embracing a Circular Economy where we design out waste, keep materials in circulation for as long as possible and regenerate natural systems.

Waverley's Repair Café will be a community collective where locals can bring in broken or faulty items to be fixed by a dedicated group of volunteers, helping to break the cycle of ‘buy – use – dispose’. It will also build community cohesion and connection by enabling locals to share their skills and knowledge through small-scale repairs of everyday objects. Together, we will reduce ‘waste’ entering landfill and also reduce the volume of raw materials and energy required to manufacture new products - minimising our environmental impact and helping us move towards a zero-waste community.

But WE NEED YOU!
