Moreland LETS
Moreland Lets
On site at CERES (open 11am -2pm each Friday, and 12noon - 2pm on the third Sunday every month except in winter) is a LETS group which includes residents of the local suburbs of Melbourne: Brunswick, Coburg, Northcote, North Carlton, Glenroy, and Fawkner, and even further afield. At present there is no other LETS group in Melbourne’s inner suburbs
What Is It?
MORELAND LETS is a local, non-profit community exchange system which operates with minimal need for money. It recognises that the real wealth of a community lies in the goods, services and skills of its people, not the amount of money available. MORELAND LETS is one of many LETS Systems currently operating in Victoria and reflects trends in Canada, U.S.A., Europe and New Zealand.
How Does It Work?
MORELAND LETS uses a unit called a ‘BAC’. New members start trading straight away with a zero balance. You use BACS to exchange services and favours, or items such as craftwork, secondhand goods, fresh produce, etc. Your balance can be negative or positive, so you don’t have to wait for someone to contact you before you start making exchanges. In fact, we encourage you to make the first contact. No interest is paid or charged on balances.
What Does It Cost?
Members pay an annual fee of $20 (waged) or $15 (unwaged) CASH (to cover postage, phone, newsletters, etc). Members receive a newsletter every 3 months which includes an account balance for all members. Also, an updated Directory is produced every 6 months.
