Griffith’s Gold Coast campus is well-served by two Light Rail stations – Griffith University and Gold Coast University Hospital – and visitors had the opportunity to join a group of Urban Sketchers, led by renowned architect Peter Richards and have a guided tour of some of the key landmarks in the GCH&KP, including the soon to be completed RDX Lumina building.

Visitors could also pop into the ARRC sustainability zone and learn all about creating a cleaner, greener Gold Coast.

ARRC sustainability zone

The Advanced Resource Recovery Centre (the ARRC) showed how they’re working on a plan to end our reliance on landfill and create a sustainable future for the Gold Coast. Good friends of the ARRC, scrapboy and dirtgirl of ABC’s dirtgirlworld and Get Grubby TV, also dropped by from 9:30 am with visitors able to enjoy:

• Free nature craft activities with scrapboy and dirtgirl
• Discovering how a $1.6 billion state-of-the-art integrated circular economy precinct will divert up to 97% of waste from landfill
• Discounts on home composting equipment for eligible residents through the ARRC Compost Revolution program and being a part of Australia’s largest community of composters.

The event was proudly sponsored by the ARRC, planning for the journey towards a zero-landfill future.
