Founder & Director
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.

Belinda Flanders

​
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.
