SomerVille Ecovillage™
Current Status
The following steps have been completed for the SomerVille Ecovillage™ project:
* Concept
* Strategic plan
* Community consultation
* Raise funds
* Purchase site
* Ecovillage design
Currently in progress are:
* Obtain approvals
* Enterprise facilitation
* Establish governance
Yet to be started are:
* Build Infrastructure
* Handover to community and build homes
The current step is subdivision approval which is the last step in the approvals process. This is expected to be achieved in late 2007 or early 2008. Once road infrastructure has been completed and lot titles have been issued (expected in 2008), building of homes will begin.
Sustainability in Action
Environmental, enterprise and social plans have been in place since the inception of the project. These plans continue to be developed and refined and ensure that the SomerVille Ecovillage™ will be continued into the indefinite future.
International research
Paul and Robyn Antonelli and family completed a five month trip in February 2005 after visiting ecovillages in Europe and the United States. This included 23,508 kilometres of road travel, visiting 13 countries, 25 communities and 6 educational facilities. New insights in areas such as governance, social and economic structures, layout and design will now be applied to the SomerVille Ecovillage™. For example, Sociocracy is now being investigated as a possible governance model.
Paul and Robyn found that the SomerVille community is truly at the forefront globally in the methodology of ecovillage establishment, and has much to share and offer other communities around the world.
SomerVille Ecovillage™ as a Model
The SomerVille project is quoted in the Western Australian State Sustainability Strategy as an ecovillage and cooperative example.
The team behind the SomerVille Ecovillage™ have documented the processes and lessons learned in developing SomerVille and are now making this available to other community driven ecovillage projects including:
* Perth Urban Ecovillage, WA
* Geraldton Urban Ecovillage, WA

SomerVille Ecovillage™ in the Media
There has been interest in SomerVille from the media throughout the project. This has included articles in the local Hills Gazette newspaper, the West Australian newspaper, Ethical Investor Magazine and interviews with Radio National and ABC TV.

A cult-watching group (CWG) consists of an organized or grass-roots assemblage of people who observe and comment on the largely marginal, often unpopular new religious movements (NRMs) and associated phenomena which people often label "cults".
Barker's classifications
Professor Eileen Barker divides cult-watching groups into five types:
# cult-awareness groups (CAGs)
# counter-cult groups (CCGs)
# research-orientated groups (ROGs)
# human-rights groups (HRGs)
# cult-defender groups (CDGs)
Barker uses a concept of "cult awareness" — more complex than the "anti-cult" category described above (see her article).

Narwee Public School is an infants and primary school in the southern Sydney suburb of Narwee, New South Wales, Australia. The school is located on Broadarrow Road and is in the Canterbury local government area.
History
The school was established in 1950 as separate infants (kindergarten-year 2) and primary (year 3-6) departments. Students traditionally graduated to either Narwee Boys High School (prior to its closure) or Beverly Hills Girls High School. By the late 1970s, the school had become significantly run down, and was renovated in 1981. This involved the relocation of several of the weatherboard buildings, the merger of the infants and primary departments, the construction of new ablution blocks and library, and the carpeting and re-fitout of the classrooms. At this time, a school student was killed in an accident involving earth-moving equipment. Part of the former infants department is currently leased to a private child-care company.
