As a local community group, we focus our funding efforts on both worthwhile local and international community projects. Decisions on who we fund and why, are made at Board level after recommendations from Club members.
A recent project
Our major focus of late has been on the Tiny House Project. A project where we recently met our funding target and look forward to realising the tiny house in the near future.
¤This project is being led by the Rotary Club of Dromana and supported by various other local community members, groups and businesses. It also has the support of the local community support centres who are on the frontline of disadvantage on the Peninsula.
¤The aim of this project is to provide a physical demonstration of what can be provided to meet the growing need for crisis accommodation for people experiencing or at immediate risk of homelessness. This rapidly expanding need is not currently being met on the Mornington Peninsula. The proposed unit is small, compact, affordable and can be located easily at a wide range of sites.
¤With skilled tradespeople, a project management team, and business and community contributions a demonstration unit will be delivered.
¤We have an engineered and costed design which can be either a tiny house on wheels (THOW) or a small class 1a dwelling. This provides flexible siting options.
