25.01.2022 Can you share our fundraising campaign with your local friends and neighbours? We're raising funds to support essential renovations for 47 Victoria Street Macedon. If this campaign is successful we'll be well on the way to opening the Macedon and Mount Macedon community house in 2020. https://www.startsomegood.com/macedon-community-house#



25.01.2022 Hello to all the supporters in the community who have contributed to this project, we hope you are all coping well during these difficult times. We’re excited to share the good news that following the recent council meeting, all councillors voted to support the forthcoming council budget and the recommendation to allocate further funds to cover an unanticipated shortfall in the amount needed to complete necessary building works at the 47 Victoria St Macedon site. A special t...hanks to Councillor Mees for her strong support and advocacy. There’s still some further details to work out to map the path forward for this work, but it’s really heartening to acknowledge the continued support and collaboration with councillors, council officers, committee members and the wider community to see this project realised. You can view the minutes for the item from the recent council meeting at the following link on page 17/18: https://www.mrsc.vic.gov.au//ordinary-council-meeting-2020 Thank you to council officers for their hard work on this project, as it states at the end of the report: The result of the renovation works will be a community managed facility that has been developed in partnership with Council that will benefit the residents of Macedon and Mount Macedon. Stay tuned for more news as soon as we have it to share!

23.01.2022 You might have noticed that we recently changed our Facebook URL. The link to this Facebook page is now: www.facebook.com/mmmcommunityhouse You can tag us with @mmmcommunityhouse You can also reach our website from: www.mmmcommunityhouse.org The mmm stands for Macedon and Mount Macedon. We made this change away from @macedoncommunityhouse as we wanted to be absolutely sure we were inclusive of residents in both the Macedon and Mount Macedon township.

22.01.2022 Only a few hours to go! Before the lockdown we had a chat with Stephen Ryan from Dicksonia Rare Plants about what 47 Victoria St meant to his family and the community. There's only one week to go in the fundraising campaign! If you can, help us reach our fundraising goal of $30,000 and build the future of Macedon and Mount Macedon Community House, as we look forward to a time when we can all connect again, following the challenges we face now. www.startsomegood.com/macedon-community-house



16.01.2022 With only 5 days to go, we still have a way to go to reach our fundraising goal of $30,000 to work towards renovating and reopening 47 Victoria St for the community. If you are in a position to donate that would be amazing, but if you can't then please share the campaign with others and help us create a space to help our community in the future. Hope everyone is going okay out there, stay safe. www.startsomegood.com/macedon-community-house

15.01.2022 Karen and Samara from the Macedon and Mount Macedon Community House Committee spoke to one of our generous donors, Lisa Fowler from @MountMacedonRealty last night about the journey with 47 Victoria St and what it means to the community, you can watch the video and find other great conversations in the series on their Facebook page.

15.01.2022 In just 7 days, with the help of some incredibly generous donors, we are halfway towards our tipping point! We are over $5000!



14.01.2022 Almost $6,000!! Now is the time to imagine a place where food and other essential items can be shared and prepared for those who are isolated. We envisage a place that makes us feel empowered and connected when there is a crisis, whether it be globally or locally.... By relocalising our focus, we can build community based on the local production and sharing of food, energy and goods. Relocalisation is how we use our local resources and currency to become more resilient in times of upheaval and uncertainty from the broader community. Let's make this happen! https://www.startsomegood.com/macedon-community-house

11.01.2022 In 1979, Rita Hamilton started work as a Maternal and Child Health Nurse at 47 Victoria St Macedon, and for the next 16 years, she helped the families of Macedon and Mount Macedon through one of the most impactful times of their lives, assisting with the welfare of their children, and the welfare of the community through the period of the Ash Wednesday bushfires and beyond. 47 Victoria St Macedon has been a community gathering place for many decades. We're so close to taking... on the lease, and now we need the whole community to come together to help us create the Macedon & Mount Macedon Community House .

11.01.2022 Thanks to all our amazing donors, and with today’s donation from Vicki and Les Hawken and The Shared Table, we have passed our tipping point, which means all of our pledges will be honoured and put towards the 47 Victoria St building project as promised! It's been a very challenging time for our whole community and our globe and despite our isolation and uncertainty about the future we are committed to the vision of a space that can help to support our communities when they a...re ready to come together again and connect and share resources to tackle what comes next. Meeting our stretch goal of $30,000 will better place the committee and the council to finish necessary renovations and set us up for occupying the building, fitting it out and running programs that can benefit Macedon and Mount Macedon as quickly as possible when the support will be most needed. https://www.startsomegood.com/macedon-community-house See more
