Local Actions Have Global Consequences 
The Benalla Sustainable Future Group was established in 2010 by Benalla & District residents concerned about environmental sustainability and the lack of action on climate change both locally & nationally.  By coming together we can work towards a more sustainable future & a cleaner planet.
