Transition The Grove Inc is a not-for-profit association and part of its constitution expressly restricts marketing activities but not providing information to the local community.
There is no charge for any of these listings.
The aim is to give very high visibility to any and all local businesses without claims being made about their services or goods. We also aim to remove as much as possible the competition and visibility from businesses outside The Grove.
A local business does not have to be a member of Transition The Grove Inc to have details on this website.
Local businesses can join Transition The Grove Inc under some conditions.
Any local business is welcome to list details about it on this website. This could be on the Business link at the left and multiple other headings as well where appropriate.

Businesses located outside The Grove are not eligible to be listed here.
People like tradespeople resident in The Grove whose work takes them outside The Grove can be listed here providing they are available to do jobs on site in The Grove not only at a site elsewhere. Only their contact details in The Grove will be listed.
Tradespeople resident outside The Grove who are prepared to come to The Grove for jobs are not eligible to be listed here.
People who live outside The Grove but have a business premise in The Grove (for example a shop or restaurant) can list that business here.
If you are not a registered business just a very tiny craftsperson selling your wares for example or someone doing massage from home you are still eligible to list your business here if you are a local resident in The Grove.
There are a very small number of cases where a business outside The Grove provides considerable regular valuable services to businesses in The Grove. These are considered on an individual basis for inclusion.
Where there is no local business providing a certain type of service this may be identified so that a local can identify an opportunity to fill.
The wording needs to be kept very factual. This will be discussed on submission but the best way to get an idea is to look at what is already there. We are not an advertising avenue and are not wanting to compete with any local advertising media.
Links to your business website are most welcome. We discourage any email addresses on this website to avoid people receiving spam.
We also encourage you to put a link to Transition The Grove’s website on your business website. We are getting high hit rates and it should help bring more traffic to your website.
Local businesses can also post on the Forums if they are registed members of Transition The Grove Inc.
Local businesses can post events to the Events calendar if they are registered members of Transition The Grove Inc. Once again it needs to be kept to straight-forward information to let locals know what’s on.
