WHAT would a comfortable home or profitable farm look like in 2040 and what will we have to do to get there? That’s the question that drives this year’s Bass Coast Sustainability Festival.
Organised by the Bass Coast Landcare Network, with the support of Totally Renewable Phillip Island and Bass Coast Climate Action, the festival has been reimagined for Covid times.
In place of one big event day, this year it runs over six weeks starting from October 23. It includes more than 60 online and in-person events plus view-anytime resources from groups, organisations, businesses, and individuals.

It has the latest information on sustainability issues, products and services to help us adapt to a changing future, and ways to get involved with our local community in meaningful activities that empower us to be part of the solution.
TV gardening guru Costa Georgiadis hosts tomorrow’s launch event which features a welcome from the Bunurong Land Council and keynote speakers from Totally Renewable Phillip Island and the Council.
The launch leads into a diverse program of in-person and online events on clean energy, local food initiatives, regenerative farming, carbon farming, active transport, electric vehicles, waste and the circular economy, cohousing and cluster housing, affordable housing, communities of the future, passive houses and wastewater treatment.

The festival concludes with a produce market at the River Garden in Bass on Sunday, December 5, by which time we should be reasonably free to mix.
