Solar Savers for Pensioners Solar Savers is a new way for Monash to help eligible pensioner residents who own their own home to access affordable loans for the installation of high-quality rooftop solar by a team of professional solar installers�

Through Council's involvement in the Eastern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (EAGA), low income and vulnerable households can install solar, take control of their bills and protect themselves from future price rises�

The project has the potential to deliver immediate net savings of at least $100 per year on electricity costs for large numbers of low-income households� The ability of solar PV to provide low-cost energy throughout the day means these householders can cool their homes during heatwaves without fear of ‘price shock’, further protecting a vulnerable sector�

MEET YOUR STREET City of Monash is encouraging people to get to know their neighbours, welcome newcomers and encourage healthy, safe and well connected neighbourhoods�

Council is supporting this project by providing grants of up to $500 for Meet Your Street activities from now until April 2020�

Initially the Meet Your Street Grants are open to residents living within four pilot areas in Ashwood, Glen Waverley, Clayton and Wheelers Hill and potentially be expanded across the municipality in the future�

There are many ways to get to know your neighbours and we encourage you to be creative about how to connect�

These grants are about getting to know your neighbours and turning streets into neighbourhoods� It is not

about large scale events, but rather smaller localised events that bring the local community together�

Ideas include celebrating a cultural event like Australia Day or Chinese New Year, to play or host a ‘cake bake off’ or holding a “cleaning up your street together”� The possibilities are endless!

Read our Meet Your Street Guide online or pick up a copy from your local Neighbourhood House or Monash library for more ideas on how to “Meet Your Street”� To apply 9518 3531

» Depression and dementia

» Dangerous side effects from interactions with medications

» Cancer, liver disease, heart disease, stroke and other medical conditions�

of alcohol on your body over time » Don’t drink more than two standard

drinks on any one occasion » Don’t mix medications and

alcohol� Check with your doctor or pharmacist about possible interactions

» Don’t drink and drive » Provide alternatives to alcohol for

your guests�
