The regional town of Colac, in south-west Victoria, is only home to about 13,000 people.
Its main street has a park on one side and is lined with bakeries, banks and take-away shops on the other.
Until Colac was hit by a large coronavirus cluster earlier this year, it didn t often make the national news.
But this unassuming country town, which serves as hub for farms dotting the green Otway pastures, is about to become home to a new energy concept.
