We Have a Passion for Sustaining our Environment.
Transition Towns - Borough of Queenscliffe [BoQ] is just in its infancy but already we are growing a network of like-minded people who wish to make our Borough [Queenscliff and Pt Lonsdale] more sustainable. With the backing of BoQ and the Queenscliff Community House [QNH], we have already commenced a few initiates, such as being ‘plastic bag free’, being E-Waste recycle friendly, the creation of “Boomerang Bags” to assist in being plastic bag free and supporting the Men's Shed Bicycle repair efforts.
