We first opened in 2000 under the leadership of Bob Goodale. Naragebup was established as an education and resource facility for the community, to enable a greater understanding of environmental issues and sustainable lifestyle choices. Since then we’re continually developing in order to better meet the needs of our community and provide them with ideas for a sustainable future.

Naragebup receives no dedicated funding – our lifeblood is the people who regularly volunteer their time. We have over 150 voting members, and have won numerous prestigious state and national awards for our efforts.
