Shifting Gears tackles three pressing challenges that plague regional cities—overreliance on cars, housing shortages, and the climate crisis. In places like Colac, the absence of diverse transportation options result in car-centric lifestyles, a consequence of roads designed for speed and convenience.

Changes to transport and housing, work together to challenge the status quo. Shifting Gears provides an abundance of green spaces, uncommon in typical developments. This transformation pieces the proposal into a thriving green spine, offering safe passage for both wildlife and people.

Shifting Gears is a vision for a greener, car-lite & more equitable future.
