Land Share Central Victoria
Did you know there is not a single property for long-term rent in Daylesford? How did we get here? How can we let this happen?
The Land Share Central Victoria FB group is a place to connect those who have access to land with those who would like access to land. Spare rooms, granny flats, tiny houses, bungalows. Rental agreements paid in cash or vegetables. Whatever you are seeking or offering, let's get together to share conversations about what housing equality and land justice means for all of us.

Democratic Renewal in Hepburn Shire
Community Voice is a group of Hepburn Shire people who strive to help our community engage in ‘active democracy’. The group:
- flags to the community upcoming council issues, e.g. around policy, planning, local laws
- collects information from the community about their current issues and barriers, then formally shares that information with the wider community and the shire's councillors
- promotes and trials active democracy methods within the shire, i.e. ways of ensuring public participation in council decision making.
Sign up for the blog via the above website link, and/or join over a 1000 locals on the Community Voice Facebook page to stay informed and add your voice.
