DROMANA COMMUNITY GROUPS
Dromana has a broad range of very active local community groups ranging from sport, environment, culture and those that exist to develop community connections.
HABITAT RESTORATION FUND
The Habitat Restoration Fund was created to enhance our natural ecosystems on both private and public land.
We aim to:
- Reconnect fragmented ecosystems by revegetating corridors
- Educate school children and the general community about the importance of preserving habitats for wildlife.
- Repair habitats for endangered flora and fauna through weed control, revegetation and more.
- Repair wetlands, creeks and river ecosystems
- Form an active, cooperative and supportive relationship between community groups, Governments and environmental stakeholders
- Involve the general community in meaningful ‘hands-on’ projects.
RED HILL RIDERS MOUNTAIN BIKE CLUB
With well over 314 active members the Red Hill Riders Mountain Bike Club welcomes riders from all disciplines and skill levels. We hold a social ride at 8.00am on the first Sunday of each month, meeting at Red Hill Consolidated Primary School and then bunching into groups of similar skill or fitness levels. Everyone is welcome and the general spirit is one of inclusion, patience, and friendship.
DROMANA COMMUNITY GARDEN
Located in Marna st. Dromana, next to the tennis and netball club. Dromana Community Garden is an open and communal garden for the whole community. We meet on the 2nd Sunday of each month 10 am – 12 pm.
MORNINGTON PENINSULA KOALA CONSERVATION
We will work to raise awareness of the challenges koalas face by providing suitable habitat and safe environment to ensure we maintain a healthy population on the Mornington Peninsula.
DROMANA FOOTBALL & NETBALL CLUB
The Club was formed in the mid to late 1880s and joined an association of clubs in 1896. We have been playing football on the Mornington Peninsula almost continuously since then with the club only going into recess during the war years and is committed to promoting the game of Australian Rules Football and Netball in our community and are known as the Dromana Tigers.
Netball was introduced into the club in 2009 and has proven a great addition. Over the years since our inception, we have had varying success but the last few years have proved quite successful for the club both on and off the field with our Senior teams participating in football and netball finals.
New players, supporters and volunteers are always given a warm welcome
VFF PENINSULA BRANCH
The Victorian Farmers Federation represents the interests of 4,500+ Victorian farmers. The local branch is very active in supporting, trialling and sharing regenerative agriculture demonstration projects.
New members, supporters and volunteers are always given a warm welcome

DROMANA BAY LIFESAVING CLUB
Dromana Bay Life Saving Club was founded on June 16th 1997 by a small but dedicated group of volunteers who saw a need for a Life-Saving Club in the Dromana community. Since then the club has enjoyed a steady growth of membership to become a dedicated and successful Life-Saving Club. The club has trained many members to become patrol members with lifesaving skills and techniques. The club has also introduced water awareness and survival skills when in Port Phillip Bay to hundreds of school-aged children.

Dromana Sea Scouts provides fun youth development activities, building resilient and confident boys and girls aged 5 to 25 in the Joey Scout, Cub Scout, Scout, Venturer Scout and District Rover Scout Sections. We also welcome adult volunteer Scout Leaders. Scouts has opportunities for the whole family to be involved. Everyone is welcome, and we value the diversity of our members.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this beautiful country where we leave our footprints every day of our lives, and with great respect to our forefathers and mothers, both past and present, of the land in which I work and live.
