Djerriwarrah Festival

November 7th, our Sustainable Living Group has a stand at the annual DJ festival. We will be located in the Environmental Hub which I believe will be on the grassed area near the Honey Shack across High Street from the Community Hall. We will be there from 0900 - 1700.

The stall will be manned by willing volunteers (members & friends) who are more than willing to share their own sustainable living journeys with anyone who pays us a visit. We will also be selling some vegetable seedlings with all proceeds going back into the group.

We will have educational displays and many donated handouts about the following themes;

Growing your own food
Water saving (rain water harvesting/grey water use)
Renewable energy
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Urban poultry
Energy conservation,
and much more!

Come along, drop by and you will learn to save money and preserve the environment. You may even want to join our group! New members are always welcome.

Warm regards,

Gavin Webber
President

Council Candidates 2020 and their Sustainability Priorities for the City of Melton

Recognising the important role that local governments are playing around the world in tackling our sustainability challenges, we wanted to share the sustainability priorities the City of Melton Councillor candidates. In 2020 we have 37 Melton candidates vying for Councillor positions across our three wards. We invited them to complete our survey, so we can share their positions on this issues with you. We appreciate the efforts of these locals standing up to represent us, and special thanks to the 17 candidates who have filled out the survey so far (we will update this in the next few days if we get more). We are not endorsing or ranking these candidates - just providing them the opportunity to share their priorities and what sorts of initiatives they will champion if elected. Candidates are listed by ward in the order that they replied to the survey (earliest to latest). While there are many areas we could focus on, we selected a few priority areas shared by Melton Sustainable Livi

Outcome of AGM

We had a great turn out for the Group AGM yesterday at Kim & Gavin's place. A huge vote of thanks was given to them and David for their work over the past few years, along with Stacey and Michael (the 2012/13 committee's ordinary members). Gavin, Kim and their family are taking a break from the group for the next year, but we hope to see them at an activity in the near future. We elected a new committee for 2013/14: Stacey W (president), Jan M (Treasurer), Patrick Mc (Secretary), Jonathan C and Mandie M (ordinary members). The committee have their first meeting next weekend, and will soon be in contact with members to arrange the new calendar of activities. If you have any questions, feel free to email the group or leave us a comment below.
