A big 'hello' if you've discovered this site as part of a search for 'Transition Towns'.  We are proud to be the catalyst for the Sunshine Coast becoming Australia's first Transition Region and the first outside the UK. The  Transition Movement is rapidly gaining momentum and seems to have captured people's imagination around the world. We are working hard behind the scenes getting teams of people in place to help us deliver on our Transition actions and help implement the Energy Descent Action Plan that's on its way.  

We are proud to offer Australia's first energy descent action planning course and much, much more. We are also Australia's first Transition Town.
