Interview: Genevieve talks about the tireless and seemingly endless effort that saw a solar farm set up at the central Victorian town of Newstead

Climate Conversations

Genevieve Barlow (pictured) was part of a core community group that spent the best part of two decades creating a solar farm for the central Victorian community.

Along with others on the Renewable Newstead committee, Genevieve worked with the State Government and ultimately "Flow Power" to make the solar farm a reality.

Interest from across Australia in what has happened at Newstead was ignited after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation screened the news item; "Newstead is first town in Victoria to open its own solar farm".

Genevive and her committee are happy to talk with other communities about their achievement.
