Get excited for the Clothing Swap event! Published: 2 September 2024

Community members can refresh their wardrobes for FREE at the upcoming Clothing Swap event.

Cardinia Shire Council has partnered with The Clothing Exchange, to provide an environmentally friendly way to 'shop’ during Buy Nothing New Month this October. 

Participants simply bring up to 6 good-quality pre-washed items of clothing and/or accessories to the event.  

These items are then traded in for tokens to use as ‘currency’ for clothing and accessories on the day.  

There will also be a range of other activities and stalls on the day, including a mending workshop to learn how to repair and revive your clothes.  

Event details   Date: Sunday 13 October  Time: 11am – 1pm   Location: Hills Hub (400A Belgrave-Gembrook Rd, Emerald) 

This event is for people 18+. Participants must register for this event. 

Cardinia Shire's General Manager Infrastructure and Environment, Peter Benazic, encourages the community to get involved.   

“Australians buy more clothes per person than any other country. This event provides a fun way to get a fresh new look whilst saving money and minimising your environmental impact."

“It is exciting to know your preloved and good quality clothes and accessories will be enjoyed by others.”
