Regen Melbourne

I can’t believe I have not written about Regen Melbourne before. I have been loosely involved with them from the beginning and the crafting of their original co-created vision statement, based on Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics model. I have also had the pleasure of being part of some of their workshops, and they have also been of great help and support with my own personal regeneration project.

Over the years, Regen Melbourne’s work has steadily evolved and now coalesces around three key Earthshots. An Earthshot is a declaration of intent to solve complex social and ecological challenges. Earthshots recognise that social and ecological regeneration are inseparable. They set an ambition of possibility, coherence of a collective response, and agitation of the conditions we operate within. Earthshots are whole-of-city in scope, long-term in commitment, and open to many entry points.

Each Earthshot has six key qualities.

Wildly Ambitious

Because the scale of the challenges demand it. We are all invested in the social and ecological future of this place.

Systems-oriented

Looking at the conditions we need not just outputs. Oriented towards multi-benefits not single solutions.

Whole-of-city

No one organisation can own the scope of the Earthshot. We are interconnected, so too must our response be.

Coherence, not consensus

There is no blueprint. Forward-leaning action looks like smart collaboration, not waiting for everyone to agree.

Long-term and open

Committed to building broad support over time. An Earthshot is a platform for entry points, not a closed project.

Of and for Melbourne

These Earthshots are in service to place. They build on what makes this city thrive and centre care for our future.

The current Earthshots they are focussing on are:

Swimmable Birrarung
A thriving and swimmable Birrarung, from source to sea
300,000 Streets
A city of participatory and truly liveable streets
Nourished Neighbourhoods
A network of resilient local food economies across our city

You can find a load more about all of this on their website but what caught my eye recently was this particular article, The Power of Participation: Strengthening the civic muscle of Greater Melbourne. [LINK] The author, Joel Backwell, covers a lot of ground in this post talking about Participatory Urbanism in Melbourne, from “what we are seeing” now, to “where to from here”. For anyone living in Melbourne it’s a great snapshot of some of the wonderful projects and orgs operating on the ground and the work they are doing. The article asks the big questions about participation as well as explaining its importance. Something I have done in previous posts: HERE and HERE

“What we are interested in is how all this participation comes together, in service of Greater Melbourne. How intentional must we be in directing this participation towards influencing and shaping power? Or is it enough to just create opportunities for people to come together to discuss what matters to them and their neighbourhoods, and then let a thousand flowers bloom? Can we expect that participation, in response to societal and environmental challenges, will organically scale up to political action? Or will it require organisations like Regen Melbourne to help join the dots, bring these spheres of activity together and build new spaces and institutions for collaboration and collective decision-making at a city scale?“

I’ll wrap this up here because I hope I’ve given enough reasons to go and read the post and check out more about what Regen Melbourne is doing in general on their website here: https://regen.melbourne They have their fingers in a lot of pies, so for anyone interested in Climate Change, Social Justice, or Regeneration, you will find loads of stuff to dive into: Climate Change Exchange – Democracy Beyond the Ballot Box – Connected Corridors – School Streets

A volcano of their very own: Mount Elephant

Showers of fiery red, molten volcanic bombs streaking through the air, rivers of flowing lava across the land. This chaotic, noisy and spectacular scene is not Hawaii or Iceland today but Victoria, 180,000 years ago.

At 240 m above sea level the almost perfect cone of Mount Elephant, on Eastern Maar Country at Derrinallum, is one remnant of this explosive time in the state’s history. For millions of years molten rock erupted from over 400 fissures, rifts and cones across Western Victoria, many witnessed and recorded by First Peoples.

Huge volumes of lava flowed across the land. The rock, basalt, was used by settlers to build stone walls and houses, and was crushed for developing roads and farm tracks.

Twenty-five years ago, members of the communities surrounding Mount Elephant rallied to protect this extraordinary place.

“It has a lot of meaning to the community – it really came from the heart. At some of the meetings people were in tears,” says Lesley Brown, Treasurer of the Mount Elephant Committee of Management, volunteers who have been caring for the mountain since it became a Trust for Nature reserve.”

Originally from Melbourne, Lesley moved to Derrinallum to become a dairy farmer with her husband. When Mount Elephant came up for sale in 2000, the community held several meetings to discuss purchasing Mount Elephant. The desire to keep the mountain as part of the community and for recreation was overwhelming, and for Mount Elephant to be restored to its state before European colonisation.

Assisted by a then-Trustee and community member, Trust for Nature formed a partnership to raise $200,000 to purchase Mount Elephant and manage the reserve. Volunteers door-knocked in the local community, a media campaign was launched, and through this $100,000 was raised in five months by the community. Trust for Nature contributed to the balance.

“It was the right thing to do,” Lesley says. “The previous owners wanted it to go to the community. If we hadn’t bought it some other private owners would have.”

The answer involved artistic detective work, using the paintings and sketches of Austrian-born painter Eugene von Guerard. These show that the mountain was likely covered in a woodland of banksias, she oaks, Blackwoods and Manna Gums, with shrubby Sweet Bursaria, Tree Violet and native grasses growing amongst the trees. This is a rare habitat today in Victoria, and much of what remains is degraded. A management plan developed by the Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, documents the plants and animals that would have lived on Mount Elephant, and how to restore it.

Over the past 25 years volunteers have planted thousands of trees and grasses. Rabbits have been baited and warrens removed. Weeds have been sprayed. The changes have been remarkable: from hundreds and thousands of rabbits, there are now only a handful.

“When we first started there was nothing – it was brown and full of rabbit warrens. Now it’s green and there are lots of trees. People said, ‘You’ll never get rid of the rabbits, you’ll never get rid of the weeds’ – but we have,” says Lesley.

Wildlife is returning, including Wedge-tailed Eagles, wallabies, and kangaroos. This is posing an interesting dilemma: the kangaroos are eating freshly planted trees, which now need to be guarded and fenced. But both are signs that Mount Elephant’s recovery is well on the way.

Walking tracks have been installed, and a visitor center open on Sunday a ernoons, and at other times by request, provides information about this fascinating place and the work that goes into looking after it. Lesley is particularly energised by the people who visit Mount Elephant, including groups of students from local schools and the commitment of the Mount Elephant committee.

“How many people have the opportunity to do what we have done?” says Lesley. “We just get on with the job and then you look back and think ‘The trees are growing, we did that’. It’s a legacy to leave behind for the future, so that future generations can continue to enjoy this place.”

A volcano of their very own: Mount Elephant

Showers of fiery red, molten volcanic bombs streaking through the air, rivers of flowing lava across the land. This chaotic, noisy and spectacular scene is not Hawaii or Iceland today but Victoria, 180,000 years ago.

At 240 m above sea level the almost perfect cone of Mount Elephant, on Eastern Maar Country at Derrinallum, is one remnant of this explosive time in the state’s history. For millions of years molten rock erupted from over 400 fissures, rifts and cones across Western Victoria, many witnessed and recorded by First Peoples.

Huge volumes of lava flowed across the land. The rock, basalt, was used by settlers to build stone walls and houses, and was crushed for developing roads and farm tracks.
