A Defining Moment for Illawarra's Coastline
The Federal Government is actively considering a declaration for the Illawarra Offshore Wind Zone. A declaration could pave the way for industrialisation by international multinationals, changing our coastline forever.
Join the Illawarra Chapter of Responsible Future in this evidence-based community session to become informed of the risks of offshore windfarms to the Illawarra and what we can do as a community.

Learn about what we are doing within the community to oppose this proposal. Share your ideas and insights to help shape our community-led strategies.
Session Focus: The discussion will focus on the proposed windfarm risks and how we can respond as a community. Whilst we acknowledge the importance of alternative energy solutions and the potential implications of climate change, discussion of these topics is not the purpose of this session. This event is more than just an update—it's a call to action. With over 10,000 submissions to a federal government petition, it's clear that our community cares deeply about the future of our coast.
Let's come together to ensure our voices are heard and that we are getting ready for what’s next to protect our coast for future generations.
