Welcome to Friends of Banyule

Friends of Banyule was formed in July 2008, to provide a platform for the 'No Freeway through Banyule' petition
circulating in the community.

Our campaign No to the North-East Link freeway is based on the fact that there are more sustainable, efficient and
cost-effective solutionsfor transportin our area.

Building a $6 billion dollar freeway/tunnel/viaduct through our parklands is not the answer.

We are a not-for-profit community organisation that works to protect and enhance the environmental values of Banyule City. We lobby State
and Federal Governments as well as Banyule City Council on issues such as public transport, the environment and the protection of the Yarra Corridor.

TRANSITION BANYULE
Is a new movement that aims to connect local people and groups and move towards a more sustainable future. Transition Towns is a world-wide movement which began in the UK in 2004, aiming to build resilient, localised, low carbon thriving and abundant communities.

They had a great meeting last night... "there was a real buss and sense of possibility that we can make our dreams come true". For more information on the Transition Towns movement go to http://www.transitiontowns.org/
