The Gap Sustainability Initiative (TGSI) was created by a small group of local residents with the common goal to make The Gap suburb more sustainable through knowledge sharing and community actions. In its first year TGSI focused on providing monthly educational seminars from local experts on different sustainability topics such as waste, carbon footprint, solar energy, bush management, and air pollution to name a few. There are many environment groups operating in The Gap and the State Member for Cooper, Jonty Bush, ran a successful Eco-Forum last year at The Gap State School; while the Brisbane City Council member Steve Toomey is very active in bushcare and Men of The Trees.

Whilst there are many organisations providing meaningful contributions, a strategic community workshop was considered as an appropriate forum to explore the concept of working together (eg alliance model adopted in Ballarat by the organisation BREAZE) and to develop a list of priority issues / projects that have broad support. We hope that you can join us and attend the community forum on Saturday the 26th march 8.30 am to 12.15pm and join our discussion with expert facilitator Mr Khory McCormick.
