I would like to approach the government for a grant.
A grant to work with an Architect to finish off Birrarungmarr etc.
I would love to attend a sustainability conference in August unfortunately I don't have the money to do it.
I would very much like to work on building a few small prototype buildings around the front or back of birrarungmarr, three different designs higlighting 'good' building practice, grey water recycliing etc. I would like to establish an education centre along with the buldings. I know the perfect Architect or three.
I wouldn't mind also including around the perimeter some Australian animals from Healsville Sanctuary. Also to complete the project with the bridge across from Birrarungmarr to the Boat Houses.
I do believe the camp or Aboriginals in the Gardens should be removed.
I'm asking to work. I'm asking to do something very useful.
I wonder whether people will support me. As I supported last year the fact that without Volunteers society couldn't function properly. The arguement was in reference to a comment that Peter Costello made about every good and service being able to be tracked in the economy and his lack of respect for volunteers. That is how the debate of volunteers occured. I started making comment that without the SES and other volunteers we would have major problems.
I am asking to be supported, I believe it would be a fantastic project.
