2023 Sustainable House Day will feature Macedon Ranges homes, with owners opening their doors to the public on Sunday, March 19.

Sustainable House Day, driven by Renew, a not-for-profit organisation, works to inspire and enable people to live sustainably in their homes and communities.

Renew chief executive Dr Fiona Gray said they want to inspire Australians to make their homes more sustainable.

“Sustainable House Day is dedicated to showcasing Australia’s most inspiring sustainable homes,” she said.

“While providing information for all Australians motivated to take the next step on their green-home journey, no matter who they are, or where they live.”

The program, which was established in 2001 is a month-long hybrid event which shares expert guidance on sustainability from architects, designers, and builders.

The main event, on March 19, features eight free online sessions bringing together experts and homeowners on ways to make homes more sustainable.

Discussions will include; charging electric vehicles, purchasing land, building on a budget, and as a community collective, as well as designing and planning for ageing.

Along with these discussions, community partners will be hosting their own events, including; in-person house tours, factory walk-throughs, practical demonstrations, and panel discussions.
