Launceston

Launceston Eco Green

For Launceston households, businesses and community groups, practical sustainability can start with better control of energy and materials: generating electricity, choosing efficient electric equipment, repairing useful items and separating resources correctly. The city and its surrounding northern Tasmanian catchments also support hands-on conservation, waste-recovery and community programs. The services below offer different ways to act, from solar and batteries through to repair, reuse, organics and natural-resource projects.

☀️ Solar Power & Home Batteries

Mode Energy

Mode Energy designs and installs residential and commercial solar power systems, battery storage and off-grid energy systems from St Leonards, servicing Launceston and Tasmania. Its Launceston-area work includes grid-connected solar, hybrid systems combining solar, wind and batteries, micro-hydropower, inverter-related solutions, monitoring and maintenance. This gives households, farms and businesses options ranging from a conventional rooftop system to more specialised off-grid or mixed-generation arrangements.

🔧 Repair, Reuse & Salvage

Repair Cafe Launceston

Repair Cafe Launceston is a free monthly City of Launceston community program delivered with Circular North. Residents work alongside volunteer repairers rather than leaving items as drop-offs. Depending on repairer availability, sessions may cover small electronics, clothing, basic furniture, bikes, camping equipment, and knife and tool sharpening. Visitors participate in the repair and bring any specialist replacement parts needed for their item.
