Banyule

Transition Banyule is working to engage the community in planning the future.  The initiating group is:

• raising awareness through film screenings, seminars, workshops and tours
• running open space* days on key themes
• supporting the establishment of theme working groups
• supporting the establishment of locality groups in each suburban area
• running demonstration projects on a range of themes
• establishing positive relationships with city council officers
