The Sustainable Living Space Working Group is a partnership between North Ringwood Community House, Park Orchards Learning Centre, Eastern Volunteers Resource Centre and Maroondah and Manningham Councils.
The project involves the assessment of support for a CERES type sustainability project within Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs. A project manager has been appointed by the working group to undertake extensive community consultation to ascertain support and involvement within the potential project.
The current aim of this working group is to measure the level of community support over the next twelve to eighteen months, prior to beginning any detailed assessments into the feasibility of the project.
