Composting Support

Composting in Newlands - Merri-Bek residents

In case you missed it, Merri Bek is subsidising a whole range of composting products from Pet Poo composter to big and small composters or worm bins, Bokashi etc. And yes, they deliver.

See  https://www.compostcommunity.com.au/store/c21/Merri

You can get up to $100 in compost rebates per household per financial year, so check it out.

There is also an upcoming online workshop on Wednesday 21/2/24 where you can ask questions about the how, I am sure they will mention the why. Register at https://events.humanitix.com/home-composting-webinar

Darebin Council Candidates Forum

Good Newlands Folk - 

It's hard to know who is who this year in this council election - with so much false information being spread, even here.

Please do come and support the Darebin Community Candidates Forum on Thursday evening to hear first hand from candidates and support those volunteers who are putting their time into this people's process.
