Join us! Be part of creating something positive!

The Valentine Sustainable Neighbourhood Group is made up of residents who live in Valentine or feel a connection to the area through family, work, friends, history or experience.

We want to maintain our village atmosphere, protect our natural environment and support our safe, vibrant and active community.

If you are interested in helping to support and improve our neighbourhood, no matter how little time you have, we would love to hear from you.

We have engaged with our community to develop a community vision and priorities.  Check out the Valentine Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (1mb pdf) for the full details.

We've got heaps of different projects on the boil.  We welcome new volunteers to assist with a range of roles.  Here are some examples of our current projects.
