Penrith’s top FOGO efforts in action

The Penrith community’s fantastic Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) efforts are helping contribute to a circular economy, with recycled organics being used as topsoil dressing on local sporting fields.

Penrith City Council has been on site at Caddens Oval in Claremont Meadows and Mulgoa Rise Fields in Glenmore Park in December week, spreading more than 350 cubic metres of nutrient-rich top dressing, largely made up of recycled FOGO material.

Shade sails and trees cool playgrounds

More residents and their families can enjoy cooler, year-round fun at their local playspace, with Council completing the final stage of its program to install shade sails and plant trees at 98 playspaces across the Penrith LGA.
Designed to meet Australian Standards, the shade sails block out 97-99% of UV rays, minimise heat and allow appropriate airflow, so you can spend more time outdoors this summer.
