Inspiring homes, big ideas and local action

GEELONG Sustainability is thrilled to announce the return of Sustainable House Day 2025, a month-long celebration of innovation, inspiration and community action across Geelong, the Surf Coast and surrounding regions.

This year’s program features an exciting mix of open homes, seminars and special events designed to showcase practical solutions for sustainable living.

 

Open House Day

Open House Day will be held on Saturday, October 11 between 10am and 5pm.

From a certified Passivhaus and a modern hempcrete build to wildlife-friendly gardens and a thriving community village, this unique event offers visitors the chance to explore real-life examples of sustainable design and meet the people who brought them to life.

 

The Faster and Fairer Tour with Dr Saul Griffith
