Sustainable Councils 2009 Presentation

The document outlines Geoffrey Gourley's presentation at the Sustainable Councils Conference 2009. The presentation focused on three key elements for councils to meet sustainability expectations: sustainability innovation, inspired leadership, and community engagement. For innovation, Gourley discussed Australia's history of innovation and how councils can apply it. He emphasized the importance of inspired visionary leaders to drive change. And he argued councils must fully engage communities, especially youth, to achieve real sustainability results, such as through community eco-centers.
