Abstract

"Creating Community in the Neighbourhood" is part of "Seeds of Change" document. In 1978 the Conservation Council of Victoria published the book "Seeds for Change - Creatively Confronting the Energy Crisis". The book has four parts, firstly a section on the energy production and use, secondly, a section stating the technical and social principles which need to be applied to ensure efficient use of the world's energy resources, thirdly "the cluster and connect model" and lastly a section describing tentative beginnings of community-building in Melbourne. The community-building section is called "The Seeds are There" and it consists of reports written by people involved in establishing community services during the 1970s. Meredith Sussex was one of the contributors to this section. This facsimile from "Seeds for Change" captures the enthusiasm of this pioneering effort. The authors of "Seeds for Change" were Deborah White, Philip Sutton, Alan Pears, Chris Mardon, John Dick and Maurie Crow. The Victorian Government recognised the work of the "Seeds" team by presenting them with a Conservation Award in 1983.
