Taking inspiration from the magnificent Northern Beaches coastline, Harbord Diggers is giving back to the place it calls home by initiating sustainable and ecofriendly solutions as part of the clubs’ holistic plan.
We have implemented six simple changes to reduce single-use plastic across the Harbord Diggers precinct which has granted the Diggers recognition as a Surfrider accredited ‘Ocean Friendly Business'.
These sustainable solutions have been put in place so that the community and future generations can enjoy calling this place home.
Venues such as the Diggers, play a very important role in taking the first step toward protecting the environment, which is why actively promote these initiatives.
