Sustainable House Day is Just Around the Corner!

6/9/2018

Comments

 
The biggest day on The Cape’s calendar is fast approaching, and we can’t wait to show you what we have been working on over the last two months. The Alternative Technology Association’s Sustainable House Day event provides an opportunity for tens of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading sustainable homes, that are not only cheap to run, but also comfortable to live in. We will be opening five of our homes for this year’s nationwide event and as we approach our third year of being involved, we have certainly taken it up a notch this year.
WHEN?
SUNDAY 16th SEPTEMBER BETWEEN 10:00am & 4:00pm
 
WHERE?
THE CAPE, PERIWINKLE PLACE, CAPE PATERSON, VIC 3995
​We will be bringing you electric vehicle and electric bike joyrides, a marketplace with local sustainable businesses, a suite of presentations by industry experts on light footprint living, and delicious refreshments including home made pizza and barista made coffee for you to enjoy throughout the course of the day. You’ll also have the chance to tour through one of Victoria’s most innovative community gardens, view the recently completed Stage 2 of the development and relax listening to local talents Janie Gordon and Humming Duo. You’ll have the opportunity to speak with the local builders and designers behind each of the homes and gain an understanding on how to create a comfortable, sustainable and bill busting home.
