Projects

Monthly Food Swap - Julie
On the first Sunday of each Month (2nd Sunday in January) we meet either in Were St or Montmorency Primary school. People bring home grown vegetables, seeds or produce to swap Coffee is available and the emphasis is on meeting others interested in home grown vegetables and fruit.


Sugar Glider Boxes – Jane
A grant has been obtained from the Council to build nesting boxes for Sugar gliders and to install them around Montmorency.


Pecks Dam
Work has been done to divert storm water into the dam


Energy Assessments & Camera – Alan
A grant from Banyule Council has enabled the purchase of a thermal camera. 4 members of the community are available to conduct energy assessments in private houses and businesses, using the camera to identify places where energy is being lost from the building.   Read more.... 


Wild life corridor– Jane 
The group had preliminary discussions with interested parties and funding is being sought to identify and develop wild life corridors around Montmorency to facilitate the easy and safe movement of native birds and animals between native reserves in the area.


Araluen Solar Project – Alan
The group has raised over $13,000 to provide an interest free loan to Araluen to buy 25 kw of solar panels. These have been installed and after 3 months have generated 4.8 Mwh of power, saving Araluen $1,200. Powershop has donated $10,000 and Araluen contributed the remaining $7,000.
