Our lovely local friend Ina, who is also on the ACC Committee of Governance, is currently a Democracy Ambassador, and is encouraging people to both enrol to vote (she’s asked us to remind you to make sure any newly minted 18 year olds in your family/friendship circle have enrolled) and also making sure that those eligible to be a ‘general postal voter’ due to age or illness or disability - know that they can have the paperwork sent to them … so they don’t have to rock up on the day to the voting station to put their two bobs in.

If you are interested in finding our more about becoming a general postal voter here is the link. Thanks Ina.

Daisies in our still.life paintings this week. What will it be next week? If you have some flowers 💐 in your garden to update one or all of our artworks please don’t hesitate to add them in or change out the arrangements. They’re on the fence awaiting your inspiration!

Thanks Yarra City Arts for supporting this participatory art project.

We’ve got a new fence project brewing - just in time for spring … It is called Still.Life - and Lee is busy painting 🖼 some amazing art for it.

Thanks once again Yarra Arts for supporting us to undertake our whacky and fabulous street art projects.

We’ll post more next week!

Through September we are one of the projects that you can select to support with your token in the Local Matters jars at Grill’d. So, if you are down at Station Street and keen for a burger look out for us … and vote!

And thanks Grill’d for supporting all the great local community things that happen in our neighbourhood!

Did you know we have a compost hub at ACC? It is not huge - just two bins - but they are available for our community to contribute to (if you don’t have your own system at home etc.).

Clare manages them on a Friday … and with a little love (and weekly turning) they are amazingly productive.

We have a collection of neighbours and friends who contribute their kitchen scraps regularly which is just lovely … and we use the compost generated to keep our community garden beds healthy … so we can grow food to share! Like our little seeds that have just been planted and will hopefully pop through the soil any day now.
