Sustainable House Day will be held on Sunday April 21.

MRSG is not presenting a Community Event this year but there will be open homes in the region, including one MRSG member household.

Tours of open homes are being offered via ticketed sessions and a small fee is payable.

The Sustainable Homes Action Group, with support from the Renewable Energy Action Group, is planning a morning of retrofitting at the Woodend Neighbourhood House. We’ll be working on draughtproofing windows and doors and applying secondary glazing (a layer of Perspex inside the window glass as a DIY alternative to double glazing). Let us know if you’d like to join in, by email to susthomes@mrsg.org.au, by about 19th June, so we can organise teams mindful of social distancing requirements.

The WNH Winter Energy Improvement Project is supported by the Federal Government “Stronger Communities” Programme.

Be part of a community- led planning process to guide local action on climate change in the wider Woodend district. The project involves a few facilitated workshops over the next few months, to develop a plan for the Woodend community to act on climate change at the local level.

Eight homes will be open in and close to the Macedon Ranges, with owners enthusiastic about sharing their experience at making their homes more comfortable, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.
