Proposed Sustainable House and Garden Project in Maleny
The project will be an assignment of the permaculture design certificate course that Dion Padman is doing.
The project is assessing, implementing and constructing a sustainable retrofitted permaculture house and garden to an existing property in Maleny.
The three basic design principles are:
Retrofitting Permaculture and Passive design The house and garden is designed and constructed through a series of group meetings and workshops.
View the whole plan here http://www.sustainablemaleny.org/files/Sustainable_Retrofitted_House.doc
The group meetings and workshops are open to anyone wishing to learn and share about and get hands on experience with sustainable, retrofitting, permaculture gardening and construction.
The group meetings and workshops would start from:
1.Assessing the existing house and site.
2.Assessing and planning what sustainable principles and products are to be put into the Project.
3.Construction and Installation.
Once the house and garden is complete the workshops and meetings could be carried out in other properties within the community.
