Recharge Kuranda is the Transition Towns Community Hub in the Original Markets that is set out to bring together goodness for the wider community. Part of Transition FNQ, the Stustainability Alliance FNQ this Hub is an anchor point for Transition, Seedsavers, Permaculture and LETS Trading. This is the first TRANSITION HUB for FNQ. We are pleased to have coordinated important Transition Meetings and Community Planning Workshops that all have had significant impact on the community planning of our Regional Councils. We played our part in the Flouride Free Kuranda Community Campaign. We CONTINUE to do things that help, assist, support and strengthen Community to stand for what they find important. ANYTHING that has to do with bringing Goodness together and enhances the Resilience for our Community can and should be shared here.

Recharge Kuranda is an Transition Umbrella born for the wider Region of Far North Queensland to facilitate a physical location, meeting place and focal point for transition in Far North Queensland.
