Nota bene also, the word "street" in Sustainability Street is a metaphor.  A Sustainability Street Village can be any group of people who live nearby, go to the same church, meet at the same playgroup, play in the same footy team, etc, and want to get together to explore a whole other way of hanging out and creating a beacon for others.

There are two ways to get involved ... many local Councils have “trained mentors” who work alongside local communities to “guide” them through the quite unique aspects of difference which makes the SSA so effective and rewarding. (refer the evaluation study summary attached)  

However, there’s an even better way … at the most basic level, (and very best local capacity building level) communities around Australia are simply gooing the DIY, “doing-it-for-themselves” ... based on the guidelines, resources, steps and stories of other communities in the Sustainability Street Manual.  Go the google on Winston Hills in Western Sydney, a classic DIY Sustainability Street Village or Randwick, Waverley and Wollahara in the East. Or Hobson's Bay in bayside Melbourne, East Preston, The City of Whithorse,  and then there is the East Keilor Sustainability Street Village who have created the very famous Walter Burley Griffin Garden.
