AUTUMN 2026 | Mid-Western Living | 19 COMMUNITY INFORMATION HUB You may have already walked past ACEREZ’s Community Information Centre at 30-32 Church Street in the heart of Mudgee. It’s a one-stop shop of information on the transmission project with photos, video, maps and the latest on construction progress. The team is on hand to welcome you in for a cuppa and a chat from Tuesday-Thursday each week. While that may not be convenient for everyone, ACEREZ has just launched an innovative community information van that has the same resources as you’ll find at the Church Street hub, but will travel around the region, taking information direct to the community’s doorstep. KEY DATES 6 March Business Mudgee’s International Women’s Day lunch supported by ACEREZ 7 March Mudgee Show 8 May 2026 ACEN Australia Mid-West Charity Ambrose to support Lifeline Central West’s Mudgee Hub supported by ACEREZ 22-24 May Dubbo Show IT ALL STEMS FROM SCHOOL ACEREZ’s school education program is back again this year with interactive live theatre performances featuring the likes of Taylor Switch, James Blonde and John Travoltage. With specially curated programs for primary and high school, senior students get a taste of potential career paths in the renewable energy sector while younger students learn how electricity is made while cracking energy mysteries and outsmarting powerwasting villains. Performers entertain and educate students on electricity Students at Cudgegong Valley Public School in Mudgee were among those that participated in the free STEM program last year with more schools in the region scheduled to take part in the coming terms. Read more about the program at rezourceforce.com.au. With solar panels on its roof to power the van’s technology, it features a unique Aboriginal artwork by Nathan Peckham titled Ngawaal or Power in Wiradjuri. Look out for the van at the Mudgee Show. The team at the Community Information Centre will also continue to support local initiatives in 2026. It follows a successful Pink Up Mudgee campaign in October last year, sponsorship of the Mid-West Charity Ambrose to support Lifeline Central West’s Mudgee Hub and the Christmas tree appeal. All donations from the appeal were distributed to St Vincent de Paul and Barnardos.
