Sustainability Victoria

In the seaside town of Mallacoota in far eastern Victoria, a local community group has taken charge of a solar power project to purify the town's drinking water.

Tricia Hilley, local coordinator of the Mallacoota Sustainable Energy Group, moved to Mallacoota with her husband 12 years ago and is as passionate about her beautiful town and the benefits of clean energy.

"A number of us got together to future-proof our homes, which for us was reducing our environmental footprint as well as reducing any ongoing costs," Tricia explains.
