Inspire
By running many projects from Community Owned Renewable Energy, The Sustainability Directory, Sustainable House Day we inspire people to be part of the action and get involved in sustainability.
Inform
By organising events and publishing balanced sustainability-related information we inform the local community of sustainable practices and showcase innovations.
Connect
We connect the community to sustainable products, accredited experts, local service providers and environmental and sustainability-focused organisations.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Geelong Sustainability acknowledges that we walk upon the traditional lands of First Nations peoples. We pay our respects to them and recognise the continuing gift of their cultures to the life and spirit of Australia. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Renewables Not Gas for Geelong!
Geelong can be a renewable energy hub. We’ve got the infrastructure, skilled workforce and proud manufacturing heritage to position our city as the place for the rapidly growing clean energy industry.
Climate Action
As one of the most vulnerable nations in the world to climate change, it is in our best interests to act immediately. This decade is critical if we are to prevent runaway climate change. It’s everyone’s responsibility - citizens, businesses and all levels of government.
War On Waste
Recognising that waste and recycling were issues affecting everyone, GS decided to establish a War on Waste action group to campaign for stronger legislation, innovative solutions and community education.Our Projects
