Last Thursday's meeting was a very exciting event, with representatives from some well-known Maleny organisations in attendance. Mark gave an introduction to BRR, our goals and current projects. I was then to give an overview of the Maleny Town Farm concept, but before Mark had even finished his spiel, people were leaping from their seats to ask questions and make suggestions. Some excellent ideas, contacts, and declarations of support were put forward. It appears that there is a great deal of interest in some of our proposals, especially the Maleny Town Farm.

Some attendees expressed interest in forming sub-groups to pursue other projects. Contact us if you are interested in joining a group to develop any of the following ideas:
* Energy Descent Action Plan for Maleny (see Kinsale's plan PDF 1.2meg)
* Sustainability Centre
* Public education programme
* Car pooling

Another meeting will be held this Thursday 2nd November to discuss the Maleny Town Farm proposal. All are welcome. The following week we plan to take the proposal to the Community Keys workshop.
