Community meeting Jan 11, 2010
As mentioned in a previous post, there was a get together of locals last night to discuss a few ideas for Eudlo and how we might get them started and out into the community.
There are a number of things happening in Eudlo already and we looked at how we might start linking them together and create opportunities for people to meet.
We already have;
A Town Hall association and the lovely Town Hall itself
Transition Town Eudlo
The Tennis Club
The Old Mill Site
Recreational grounds (skate park and play equipment)
The Eudlo Markets
The Rural Fire Service
Local shops - the General Store, hairdresser, beautician and Sweetheart's Cafe
Local Primary School and it's P&C
The Post Office
The Pony Club
The Bike Club
Numberous B&Bs and lots of other home businesses
and Chenrezig Buddhist Institute
We talked about how we might start contributing to Council's Town Planning process, how we could create a Vision and Plan for Eudlo, and ways we could share information and communicate better with each other.
Most importantly, we also talked about how we could retain the character and heritage of Eudlo, the things we love most about it, the reasons we moved here in the first place.
So outcomes were;
looking at how we can create a 'get to know your neighbours' area at the next markets
Setting up a facebook page for Eudlo Village so people can stay up to date with what's happening
and setting up a follow up meeting
For Transition Town Eudlo it's the start of the Energy Descent Action Planning process and we also identified some opportunities for how we might get the Eudlo Food Co-operative up and running.
We'll also hopefully have a talking tent at next markets in March and we might look at having family film nights in the Town Hall too.
And the idea of Eudlo being Carbon Neutral by 2020 was floated too...

The Eudlo Energy Descent Action Plan
Transition Town Eudlo and the Eudlo Town Hall Committee are about to begin work on creating a community plan for Eudlo to be delivered to Council.
We aim to work together to create an energy descent action plan (EDAP) - one that puts forward what the community would like to see happen in Eudlo. A plan that factors in climate change mitigation strategies and peak oil preparedness. A plan that helps keep Eudlo unique and retains the things we love about Eudlo.
On January 11 at 7pm in the Eudlo Town Hall, a few of us will be getting together to discuss how we might go about doing this - if you have an interest in putting forward positive, constructive ideas for the town of Eudlo, please come along.
The EDAP will cover things like; local food, water, energy, waste, built environment, transport, health, arts and culture, environment, emergency preparedness and much, much more. You're welcome to be part of this, the Sunshine Coast's first town led EDAP.
Cheers,
