Sustainable House Day provides the opportunity to explore some of Australia’s most unique and inspiring homes, and learn from the people who designed them, built them, and live in them.

This time around, we’re doing SHD a bit differently. The big day will now take place on 19th March 2023, with a busy calendar of additional events taking place over the coming months. Read about it here →
