HOW DO WE DO IT?
First, through having an active membership – residents who know their area and the people in it. And one of the benefits of City life, is that you really do get to know people around you – traders, workers, residents, dog-walkers – everyone.
Second, by working closely with the various authorities, primarily the Melbourne City Council, we can talk to decision-makers. Of course we don't always agree, but good communication is essential if we are to be involved.
Third, we try to communicate well - this website is one way. But we also publish a Newsletter called “Our Neighbourhood” (click here for the latest edition) about 4 times a year. If you can help deliver it to letterboxes in your building/locality please let us know.
Fourth we hold meetings about four times a year with good speakers, which helps people to meet and socialise.
So, we keep busy!
