Taking Back the Power: Qld Energy Transition
Why the Transition to Renewable Energy Matters
Switching to renewable energy isn’t just about reducing emissions—it’s about creating a future where our communities and ecosystems can thrive. For Queensland, this means cleaner air, healthier landscapes, and community benefits that support people and nature alike. But a truly successful transition needs input from the ground up, ensuring everyone’s voice helps shape the future we’re building.

Why Kitchen Table Conversations?
When communities have a real say in decision-making, the solutions created are stronger and fairer. Local voices bring unique insights and priorities, especially from those who’ve seen first-hand the effects of climate change and rising energy costs. By listening to community perspectives, we can work toward an energy future that benefits everyone.
Kitchen table conversations offer a space for honest, open discussions—neighbours talking with neighbours about what matters most. In this informal setting, people can connect, share concerns, and brainstorm real solutions. These gatherings are where community-led ideas take root, ensuring that our transition to renewables reflects the hopes, values, and experiences of everyone involved.

What is a Kitchen Table Conversation & How Can I Host?
Kitchen table conversations are informal gatherings that bring people together to have meaningful discussions about important issues in a relaxed, familiar setting. Unlike formal meetings or public forums, these conversations encourage genuine dialogue by creating a comfortable space where everyone can speak freely. Participants are invited to share their ideas, reflect on local challenges, and brainstorm solutions as equals.
These conversations offer a unique opportunity for communities to connect over shared concerns, deepen their understanding of issues, and explore ways to take action together. By gathering around a table—whether at home, in a community hall, or a local café—kitchen table conversations ensure that all voices are heard, fostering a sense of belonging and collective purpose.
