In 2010, we 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 cafe, 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 http://www.melbourne.foe.org.au/?q=smc
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP to get it started.
Demolition Day with BBQ & Beer - Sunday February 7th 10am - 3pm
Under guidance from experienced trades people, we'll be cutting out internal walls, washing, filling gaps, painting, sweeping and getting the site ready for use. Everyone is welcome, but we would especially like people with trades skills and tools to contact us so we can be prepared.
We are also looking to make contact with a skilled building engineer, architect and someone with a flair for interior design. Once you have RSVP'ed we'll send a list of things we need to get the job done.
