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.

Find out how you can inform and guide local action on climate change, for the Woodend district, at this event run by Macedon Ranges Shire Council and facilitated by Amy and Gavin from Hip V. Hype Sustainability
