RESET
Time to take a breath – renew, refresh and reinvent.
This spring at Fed Square, RESET offers us an opportunity to start afresh.
Renew those good intentions to plant some seedlings, start a compost bin or learn how to darn our woollies.
Refresh our ideas and get inspired by new ways of living sustainably.
And let’s reinvent the way we do things – tiny changes in our daily lives add up to big collective impact. It’s never too late to start.
RESET is a full program of events and activations, including markets, festivals, immersive activities and practical and creative workshops, to inspire us all to make some little – or big – changes to our daily life, to help minimise our negative impact on the environment, and increase our positive impact.
This spring, why not join us at Fed Square to reaffirm our commitment – big or small – to make a positive change?
Let’s RESET, together.

Repair, reuse, recycle – you’ll get heaps of ideas and inspiration for living a waste-reduced lifestyle at the Zero Waste Festival. There are market stalls, delicious waste-free lunch (thanks to Green My Plate), drop-in sessions and of course the famous Repair Café. Bring those items you’ve been planning on getting fixed – and breathe new life into old.

Celebrate plant-based living! Whether you’re a longtime vegan or just interested in finding ways to live more sustainably – you’ll find plenty of inspiration at the Vegan Market. Come hungry, as you can enjoy delicious vegan food, and explore market stalls of ethical and sustainable homewares, fashion, beauty products and other eco-friendly goods.
10 September, 10am & 3.30pm | Crossbar Building Rooftop
Fed Square will install two beehives on our roof, joining an urban movement to re-bee urban spaces. The honeybee is a humble hero, a tiny environmental crusader, helping to pollinate plants and improve local biodiversity. Log in to Bee Cam to follow our bees’ journey.
Sunday 10 September, 11am–3pm | Atrium
This series of practical workshops will help build some life skills and reinvent the way we do things in our own home. Learn the basics of composting, fermentation or gardening in a small space. Sample honey from rooftop hives or try native bushfoods – and plant your own bushfood seedling to take home. Limited places, bookings a must.
19–21 September, 10am & 1pm | Atrium
Visit Butterfly House and celebrate our tiny and important insect friends through immersive play. Create your own butterfly from recycled chip packets, take home a seedling to plant in your garden and wait for the real butterflies to arrive. Through puppetry and performance, explore the incredible relationships that lie at the bottom of the food chain.
