In this episode, we explore a pivotal year in Collie’s transition journey away from coal. As the current Just Transition Plan is reviewed and updated, locals that are driving the transition share their reflections and insights to help shape the next phase of the plan – covering the critical period from 2026-2030 where the scheduled closures to State-owned coal-fired power stations in Collie are due to happen.

Hear from key voices including union and local government leaders on the progress so far, lessons learnt, and what they feel is needed to support the workforce and community in a time of significant change and as the town secures a strong future beyond the life of coal.
