About
Transition Darebin is part of the worldwide Transition Network.
Our vision
A relocalised and resilient Darebin that is liveable for current and future generations.
Our mission
To catalyse our community’s response to peak oil and climate change – a transition towards a relocalised and resilient Darebin.
Essentially we are about helping the Darebin community to prepare for peak oil and climate change through practical solutions like local food growing, energy efficient homes and buildings, fossil-fuel-free transport, local production of goods and services, and reuse and recycling. We have some projects underway around food, transport, and re-skilling Darebin for a future without cheap energy and fuel.
On Friday 9th October 2009, Transition Darebin became incorporated at a public launch and accepted our constitution.
Our members
Transition Darebin is a collective of volunteers and supporters who (mostly) live in Darebin. A small number of us started things rolling (the ‘Initiating Group’); the rest keep it going through various levels of involvement. If you live, work, or have a close connection with Darebin, consider getting involved!
