The Fremantle Community Wind Farm Cooperative is a proposed community-owned wind farm of 8-12 turbines on our state land at Fremantle Port. We are currently being blocked by the Fremantle Port Authority from leasing land, for reasons that have not been transparently communicated. To overcome this barrier we are educating the community about the project, and trying to focus and coordinate their support. www.fremantlewindfarm.com.au The Port of Fremantle is uniquely suited to a wind power project. Planning approvals are simplified because the Port is an active industrial area with existing structures of comparable height (cranes), and an ambient noise profile which already exceeds that of a wind farm. The locations proposed for the turbines are exposed to strong unobstructed winds from the South West, “the Fremantle Doctor”. In addition the project is situated on the ‘front-lawn’ of the State, presenting great iconic and tourism value. Show less

Photographer & Writer

• Jan 2015 - Dec 2016

I am passionate about independent travel, connecting with vastly different people, and the power of photographic stories to help bridge cultural chasms. Since 2007 I've been exploring this amazing planet's obscure places, part-time. After months of planning, editing and customising, in January 2015 I launched my website – and with it, myself full-time into this project. MichaelFuller.ca is a hub for stories, advice, and photo-essays. Engaging with newsletters, RSS, and social media I am sharing my experiences to inspire, entertain, educate, and demonstrate the benefits of travelling with an open mind and an open heart. In March 2016 I completed my crowdfunded photography book, The World at Work: People Doing Rare, Traditional, or Surprisingly Common Jobs You've Never Seen Before. It was a major project involving 10 years of travel and 6 months of planning and execution. Without any hired help, I • created and marketed a crowdfunding campaign; • successfully pre-sold over 100 copies, generating over $3000 USD seed capital for printing; • curated the photographs and stories from 10 years of trips; • taught myself graphic design principles, and Adobe InDesign; • printed and distributed the book to supporters in 10+ countries on time and within budget Check it all out: MichaelFuller.ca || Join the mailing list to never miss a story: www.EEPurl.com/YUT1f || Get social: facebook.com/www.michaelfuller.ca and Twitter @ONEproj Show less

Freelance Consultant

• May 2016 - Jun 2016

Providing freelance renewable energy and energy management consulting services to a number of organisations globally, including: • EcoTrust Canada (an Aboriginal community economic development consultancy in western Canada). I modelled four renewable energy options for a fringe-of-grid aboriginal community, aiming to reduce energy costs while also allowing them improved energy access and greater economic opportunities. • Energetics (a boutique carbon and energy management consultancy in Australia). I helped investigate the economic case for an underground ventilation energy management system at a remote mine site. This opportunity would achieve a safer and more productive mine while also reducing diesel costs and carbon emissions. Show less

For many, we built their internal capacity so they could manage without the "annual gravy train" of consultant's fees. Projects included:• Developing two innovative new service offerings: -- a unique underground ventilation energy management system with guaranteed savings. It combined data capture, automated/telemetry technology, and data visibility levers for behaviour change. -- a leased-renewables business model for fuel savings in off-grid mines• Mapping BI decision-making framework across an entire major oil & gas client. We revealed surprising inconsistencies, prioritised and roadmapped the opportunities, and inspired various internal spin-off improvements within the business. Show less
