Dig deeper with our series of online Extension Sessions
Following a day of open-home tours around the country on 21st April 2024, a month of online Extension Sessions offer a deep dive into a range of sustainability topics. Australia’s best architects, designers, tradespeople and experts will offer guidance, and homeowners will offer first hand experience. If you’re considering a sustainable build or renovation, this series is for you, with lots of time for Q&A.
You can book for sessions individually, or grab an Extension Session Pass that gives you access to all sessions at a discounted price. Members of Renew receive a further discount on Extension Session passes. Feel free to take out a membership or subscription to Renew or Sanctuary magazine before you book to access the discount!
