A core learning pathway through regenerative leadership, circular systems and business-case development. Planned for Spring 2027.
Work through 12 core modules, from understanding what is changing and what matters locally to identifying resources, building a business case and planning action. CIRCLE guides the process throughout.
Energy, food, water, materials, land, infrastructure, culture and enterprise form the wider context. Practical modules deepen the topics relevant to the project you are exploring.
Availability: Spring 2027 · Planned.
Discuss online learningBuild your understanding of the wider economy, identify local opportunities and develop a practical path forward. Business-case evidence accumulates throughout the learning.
Explore climate change, resource use, economic resilience, food security and community wellbeing. Use CRISIS to understand what is changing, what matters locally and where improvement is possible.
Explore module 01Indigenous knowledge, stewardship, reciprocity and seven-generation thinking. Build on local knowledge and strengths to move towards a more regenerative future.
Explore module 02Recognising overlooked local assets, waste streams, skills, land, culture and economic opportunities, including energy, heat and water.
Explore module 03Introduces COASTAL, STEWARD, the six stages of CIRCLE and the three outcomes: people, prosperity and planet.
Explore module 04How healthy soil, composting, land restoration and regenerative agriculture support food production, ecosystems and local economies.
Explore module 05Identifying local resource flows, infrastructure, stakeholders, underused assets and potential circular-economy opportunities across food, energy, water and materials.
Explore module 06Composting, biochar, wood recovery, construction waste, metals, materials recovery and circular enterprise opportunities, including potential energy and heat applications.
Explore module 07Local farms, greenhouses, forestry byproducts, mine reclamation and productive landscapes, including their connections to energy, heat and water systems.
Explore module 08Commercial models, equipment, infrastructure, capital costs, operating costs, revenue, financing and partnerships. Uses OPPORTUNITY to bring evidence and assumptions together.
Explore module 09Indigenous tourism, cultural experiences, land-based learning and opportunities to build local value through visitors.
Explore module 10Prioritising opportunities, feasibility, funding, governance, implementation planning and creating a realistic first project.
Explore module 11Developing a community roadmap, building momentum, measuring outcomes and establishing the next steps.
Explore module 12The 12 modules provide the curriculum. CIRCLE connects the learning to context, vision, team alignment, solution design, implementation and continued development.
OPPORTUNITY helps you record commercial evidence and assumptions as you progress. Modules 9 and 11 bring that work into an initial business case and a realistic first project.
Every topic contributes evidence for a decision about what your community could build and how it could work.
Who needs the product or service? Will they pay? Are the inputs, land, infrastructure and skills available?
Assess revenue, operating requirements, capital and cash flow. Define ownership, governance, partners and responsibilities.
Identify assumptions, approvals, constraints and evidence gaps. Decide what needs investigation before committing.
Consider meaningful work, local economic value and ecological outcomes together. Agree measures and a practical first phase.
