Jason Rahilly
Jason is the founder and director of B-Alternative, guiding its strategic direction, partnerships, and environmental consulting. With over 15 years as a licensed builder and project manager, he combines hands-on expertise with systems thinking to tackle waste and embed sustainability.
​
After working in large-scale construction, Jason saw the environmental impact of conventional practices. He founded B-Alternative to deliver practical, scalable solutions that prioritise people and planet—supporting events, councils, schools, and businesses in adopting low-waste systems and circular thinking. He oversees programs like reuse systems and zero-waste event services.
​
He’s also co-director of Gypco, a sustainability-focused building company, and enjoys cricket, surfing, animals, and the outdoors with his family.

With a calm, collaborative approach grounded in integrity, Belinda brings clarity to complex sustainability challenges. She partners with councils, festivals, schools, and hospitality to embed circular thinking and drive meaningful behaviour change.

Outside of B-Alternative, Belinda is inspired by the ocean—she’s a passionate scuba diver, beach wanderer, and reef conservation advocate. She finds joy in nature, connection, and community, viewing sustainability as a purposeful way of living.
