REB has been discussing a communication strategy to connect with the community. The development of a website and design of a logo are seen to be important parts of this strategy. We have applied for a Climate Action Network Australia grant to fund these developments. REB is also interested in making contact with youth and will seek assistance from Benalla Council's Youth Project Coordinator. We are also seeking to make contact with the Benalla developer who has a permit for a new housing development on the old woollen mill site. We would like to talk to him about the possibility of making this a 'model' development for solar access and energy efficient homes. John Lloyd This report was originally published in Benalla Sustainable Future Group's May Newsletter. |
