Sustainable Nimbin Community Plan - Well done Nimbinites! the Plan has been reviewed and renewed by 97 individual community members and was launched at Sustainability Alley at the Nimbin Show. It is now available to view or download here. WATER has been added as a new Focus Area.(NOTE: the Updated List of Achievements referred to in the Plan are a work in progress and will be finalised and available here ASAP).

Some of the actions under the Plan are already well underway and some Strategies have even been achieved – most notably the goal of getting a Nimbin rep onto Lismore City Council. Well done and Congratulations to our very own Virginia Waters!

Take Home Naloxone – Available for FREE at NNIC (also available at the NSP and the Pharmacy), by appointment. Naloxone is a lifesaving drug which temporarily reverses the effects of an opiate overdose. Anyone who may become exposed to opiates, whether by prescription or otherwise, is at risk of accidental overdose. Naloxone buys valuable time for an ambulance to arrive. It is available for FREE at NNIC to people who are at risk of an opioid overdose or adverse reaction, their carers, friends and family members and any other people who may become first responders. Naloxone can be administered by injection or delivered through a nasal spray. To get some for your first aid kit, make an appointment with Nat or Nicole or one of the AOD Hub team.
