Electrify Gold Coast

Judy McLennan is a Gold Coast-based community organiser who shifted from executive coaching to local climate action eight years ago - convening groups, running events, and connecting people across the Gold Coast’s climate and clean energy community. 
She founded Electrify Gold Coast, a volunteer community group helping Gold Coast households whether in stand-alone homes or apartment buildings transition to cleaner, all-electric living.
Founded in 2025, Electrify Gold Coast is part of Rewiring Australia’s nationwide Electric Communities network. It is now an incorporated association, giving it greater capacity to support Gold Coast households especially those in strata apartment buildings, which make up a major part of the city and often miss out on clean energy opportunities available to stand-alone homes.
On Thursday, Judy will explain what electrification means and how it can benefit households.
