Step inside beautiful, thoughtfully designed architectural homes, carefully retrofitted weatherboards, or small apartments made cooler for summer. Hear from renters who’ve cut their energy bills with clever upgrades, families who’ve undertaken all-electric renovations, and people rebuilding after floods who explain the choices that now help them sleep better at night.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID

"Sustainable House Day was really worthwhile in demonstrating what is possible with retrofitting an older home. I'm now planning to swap out a gas cooktop for an efficient induction stove."
- Duncan
"It was interesting to meet home owners who have started or completed their sustainable journey. All were very generous with their time and knowledge, it was an inspiring day."
- Mathew
"It is so generous of the home owners to share their stories about their houses, and seeing it in person is so valuable - much more so than seeing a photo".
- Liz
"Home tours by the person that lives there is an authentic way to learn about the pros and cons of building and living in a passive, sustainable home. Incredibly informative!"
- Tania
"If you are planning a sustainable new build, or looking at renovating and bringing an older house up to date, then Sustainable House Day can’t be missed!"
- Lisa
