In 2024, Whittlesea Community Connections and Mernda Neighbourhood House initiated a local community climate resilience project. Through conversations and local engagement, a group of community members from diverse backgrounds came together to share their thoughts, values, concerns and hopes. Those early discussions laid the foundation for the Whittlesea Climate Action Network (WCAN), a community-led group focused on learning, connection, and local responses to climate change.
WCAN was formally established in December 2024 and continues to meet regularly. You can read more about us HERE.
