Tactical Urbanism - please do!

TACTICAL URBANISM.

Ever wanted to have some fun whilst also actively making a difference in your community? This just might be what you've been looking for.

The Tactical Urbanism movement is all about citizens taking the lead in making small, temporary and low cost interventions to the townscape of their neighbourhood.

Luckily, a host of free practical guides and sources of information and inspiration has been made available.  Better Hobart have helpfully grouped them together for ease of reference. Simply click on the link below.

So if you fancy holding an event, creating your own Pocket park, drawing attention to traffic issues, community gardening or even making a statement in this years Park(ing) Day, read, digest, get inspired and then roll up those sleeves. Remember. This is your city!

Towels for Bonorong wildlife

As featured in the Mercury today, Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary needs a heap of old (but clean) towels and pillowcases to help them to keep their animals and birds clean and warm.

Surely West Hobartians can help!

Di has set up a box at 67 Newdegate Street, so that neighbours can drop in their excess towels and pillowcases.  We'll get them to Bonorong for you. 

What could be easier?  Get onto it now, while you are thinking about it!
