Designed for a Sustainable Future - Open House Day in Castlemaine

Learn about sustainable house design by visiting ReNew magazine’s favourite Castlemaine homes. See how simple passive solar design can naturally warm and cool a country home, or how sustainable technology and DIY features save water and energy.

Sustainable homeowners in the Castlemaine area will open their doors so visitors can see their home in action. Be inspired and gather ideas on how to make your home more comfortable, cheaper to run and environmentally-friendly.

After visiting the open houses attend a Q&A session in Castlemaine with a panel of sustainability experts. Find out about renewable energy at home, water tanks, passive design and planning issues from those in the know.
