“It will be a fantastic opportunity to find out the latest innovations in renewable energy, as well as our experts’ thoughts on how to achieve a more sustainable future,” said conference organiser David Goodfield, who is from Murdoch’s School of Engineering and Information Technology.

The public meeting will be chaired by local entrepreneur Hamish Jolly, from Biogass Renewables in Jandakot, and a welcome will be provided by Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt, who still lectures in sustainability at Murdoch University.
