Eco Living Centre Funded at CERES
CERES Community Environment Park has received a $180,000 Eco Living Grant from the Victorian Government to refurbish the CERES EcoHouse and empower the community to respond to climate change.
CERES will be one of seven Eco Living Centres will be developed across the state for local residents to experience sustainability in action and learn how to apply sustainable measures at home.
With this funding, the CERES EcoHouse will be better placed to support the community by providing local programs and encouraging individuals to take action on climate change in their everyday lives.
The EcoHouse refurbishment will showcase sustainable features in a contemporary manner, to demonstrate that a home can be affordable, sustainable, desirable and modern.
Features of the renewed centre will include solar hydronic as well as passive heating, double glazing, energy efficient lighting and appliances, water efficient appliances and a conventional and bush food garden.
The EcoHouse is a typical Brunswick weatherboard house, modified in 1982 to demonstrate a number of sustainable features. The current refurbishment will provide for another 25 years of effective community education for behaviour change,
