The Resilient Dora Creek Project
The Dora Creek Sustainable Neighbourhood Group are working with the Dora Creek Progress Association, Council and the SES to prepare a Community Safety Plan, to help Dora Creek residents be informed, prepared, safe and resilient during exposure to severe weather and natural disasters.
The pilot project could be used as a model to enhance community resilience in other areas.
Meanwhile, with the bushfire season already upon us, find out what you should be doing to prepare now.

Planning for the summer slow down
It's about this time of year that our attention turns to holidays, family, and a well-earned beverage.
As your group's activities wind up for the year, take time to celebrate what you've achieved, and take stock of your group's aspirations for 2015. Expect participation in Sustainable Neighbourhood activities to be slow in December and January, and use that time to rest and refresh.
