Sustainability superstars

We can work together to create a sustainable community for future generations. 

Sustainability Superstars are local groups, individuals or entities that promote sustainable behaviours, often going above and beyond in their efforts to minimise environmental impact and encourage sustainability. These superstars are recognised for their leadership, innovation, advocacy or commitment to advancing sustainability goals within the City of Joondalup community.

Visit the City’s Community Directory for a list of community groups. 

Learn from and be inspired by our local sustainability superstars.
