You are invited to a BBQ and working bee at the South Melbourne Commons.

In 2010, Friends of the Earth are very excited to announce the development of the first Eco Market style operation in South Melbourne. The tentatively named 'South Melbourne Commons' will become a new community hub that reconnects people back to a sense of place and belonging.

The site will feature, a community kitchen, food cooperative, grocery store & deli with a weekly Saturday Eco Market operation starting later in the year. Weekly workshops and community activities will be a common occurrence. For more information, photos and a virtual video tour visit

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP to get it started, so we're hosting a yummy BBQ & working bee so you can get involved and make a difference.

Focus will be:
- Inventory, photograph, write description of items at the site to get unneeded items ready to for sale (5 to 10 people)
- Sanding and paining preparation if we have enough keen volunteers
- Any new volunteers can have a tour of the site
- Veg BBQ lunch provided and beer at the end of the day.
- Making good friends & a bit of fun.
- lots, lots more.
