You may have seen the ‘I’m Voting For a Safe Climate Future’ signs dotted around the neighbourhood in the lead up to the federal election. We were lucky to have a talented local artist design the signs, a team of volunteers talk to locals about putting one up and, most importantly, that so many residents were open to taking action to help secure a safer climate.

What was clear after the election was that the Illawarra community isn’t alone in wanting more action taken so we can avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Now the new government has a climate mandate, the work has just begun.

We invite you to join Beyond Coal Coast – a group of Illawarra locals who are concerned about climate change. We pay respect to our region’s proud history of being the ‘coal coast’, and we believe the Illawarra can have a proud future that goes beyond coal and one that has helped create a safe future. We are not affiliated or sponsored by any political party or formal organisation, we’re simply a bunch of residents who recognise that more needs to be done.
We get active. We raise awareness. We have cups of tea.

We’re planning some community events in the next month or two – we hope you can join us.
