    Thanks for setting up this page Heather. Copying over some resources from the DEECA website as a test and to share some helpful links:
    The Knowledge Hub
    DEECA had a research partnership with the Australian National University. This partnership created the Knowledge Hub. The hub has critical research and learnings on how to develop neighbourhood battery.
    The Knowledge Hub is a one-stop shop of information. It provides a useful guide and support to all groups on neighbourhood batteries.
