Looking for inspiration? People power was the driving force behind the community-powered campaign to save Westernport Bay. Working together with diverse community leaders, they showed how local people can organise, fight back and win against big corporate polluters!

Victoria’s shift from fossil fuelled power to renewable energy has sparked heated debate about the future of the state’s Renewable Energy Zones (REZ). The Victorian Government has increased the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) to 50 per cent by 2030.
