We have 64 members in Transition The Grove now growing steadily. The aim is to eventually reach and involve all the citizens in the suburbs of Arana Hills Ferny Hills Ferny Grove Upper Kedron and Keperra.

At this stage it is important to get the process right early on so because as we grow it will be harder to correct things and learn from mistakes. Getting the subgroups active and working effectively to plan and create for our local resilience here is the big and important stage to get happening. Some of the subgroups are already active – some are growing steadily in numbers as potential waiting to be explored.
