Ballina 48 hour challenge

Ballina Social Innovators Term 1 2026

April 2026

By Marley, Emma, Bronte, Wolf.

What if looking after your community felt less like a chore and more like a game? The Ballina 48 Hour Challenge turns environmental action into a social movement by rewarding people for cleaning up their local area. With prizes like TVs, phones and GoPros up for grabs, it makes caring for shared spaces fun, competitive and actually worth showing up for.

They’re trialling the concept at school first with a beach carnival-style event where students play games and clean up their surroundings at the same time, with points going toward the house challenge.
