It further considers how regional campuses are ideallyplaced to make a unique contribution to progressing an emerging new paradigm, focused onSustainable Wellbeing. The concept of Sustainable Wellbeing towards a Good Anthropocene issuggested as the foundation of a new paradigm to provide meaning and purpose to individuals andinstitutions alike. The Cradle Coast campus of the University of Tasmania, whose recent leadershiphas outlined a new vision of the University as being ‘place based and right sized’ is ideally placedto deliver this mission, assisted by its small scale and closeness to local communities. It has thepotential to impact on the transformation needed of understanding, education, vision, will andleadership to support a level of collective action for optimal flourishing.
