Geelong Sustainability

Geelong Sustainability is a for-purpose community organisation and registered charity that exists to build a powerful community movement to take urgent action on climate change together, for a just transition to a net zero future. Since our establishment in 2007, Geelong Sustainability has become the region’s leading sustainability group with extensive networks in community, government and business throughout Geelong and the Barwon region.

We have over 150 financial members, over 50 active volunteers, and an active network of 20,000+ supporters across the region. Throughout our 18+ years of operation we have delivered a huge range of projects, initiatives and events including community energy purchasing programs, a localised annual Sustainable House Day, community events, climate campaigns, energy upgrades, government grant programs, pilot programs like Climate Safe Rooms, and leading advocacy on key local issues.

Since our inception, we have delivered grant projects totaling over $1.4m and facilitated $9.3m of renewable energy investment in the community which has helped mitigate over 120,000 tonnes of cumulative CO2 emissions.
