Ecoburbia is part urban infill development, where we have converted one house into four self-contained living units, tripling the population density without adding to the house’s footprint.
Ecoburbia is part urban farm with chickens, goats, compost and fruit trees, plus a large shared veggie patch.
Ecoburbia is part demonstration sustainable house, with cutting edge energy systems, water collection and dispersal systems and innovative passive solar design.
Ecoburbia is part educational opportunity and community hub, with regular tours, workshops, films and other community events
You have heard about Ecoburbia - now come and see it for yourself.
During this tour you will see

The Grey Escape - Transition Town Vincent Movie Night
The Public House263 Adelaide TcePerth,Welcome back to the movies at the Paddo! Come down and join us for The Grey Escape.
This charming road trip movie sees a group of seniors combat social isolation, build connection and feel the wind in their hair.
Across the Western world, millions of elderly people live in nursing homes, often lonely, isolated and without mobility. But these elderly people are breaking free!
The Grey Escape follows a life-changing journey for a group of Danish elderly people who travel from Denmark to Norway to deliver rickshaws to their Norwegian neighbours.
Meet Marie (96) and Finn (81) who overcome their issues and grow closer. The only problem is Marie thinks Finn is too young for her...
Watch the trailer - https://vimeo.com/161954482
Several short films will be screened before the film.
GUEST SPEAKER - We're super excited to have Karen O'Connor from Cycling Without Age WA join us after the screening.

10:30AM 6:30PMMadman & Luna Cinemas are very pleased to screen the important and timely the documentary I AM GRETA, which had its world premiere at Venice Film Festival and played at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The story of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is told through compelling, never-before-seen footage in this intimate documentary from Swedish director Nathan Grossman. Starting with her one-person school strike for climate action outside the Swedish Parliament, Grossman follows Greta - a shy schoolgirl with Asperger’s – in her rise to prominence, and her galvanizing global impact as she sparks school strikes around the world. The film culminates with her astonishing wind-powered voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to speak at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York City. (English with some Swedish)
“What is so compelling is the picture I Am Greta pieces together of Thunberg herself.” - Screen
“Nathan Grossman's glossy doc underlines the formidable achievements of teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg.” - Variety
“I Am Greta is a smoothly constructed view of a heroine in the making, and of how the world largely embraced and sometimes dismissed her.” – Hollywood Reporter
“Nathan Grossman follows the teenage visionary through her public, often painful evolution into a divisive figure.” – IndieWire

Manning LibraryJoin Perth creatives Kat Scarff and Louise Monday for a series of exciting craft workshops at Manning Library.
Kat will guide you in creating with nature with Natural Object Wall Hangings and Natural Prints and Mark Making sessions while Louise will show you how to reuse old magazines and books with Black-Out Poetry and Trash.O.rigami workshops.
Create wall hangings from found pieces of our natural environment that can be woven and hang to create unique art pieces. You’ll discover your creativity via the exploration and expression of nature within artwork. Please bring along some found objects to incorporate into your artwork such as gum nuts, fine sticks, dried grass, fresh and dried flowers, and/or fresh and dried leaves.
Finished pieces from the Ex-Bo event series will be displayed in the Manning Exhibition Boxes in December 2020 and January 2021.

Principles of Solar Passive House Design–
Principles of Solar Passive House Design
Ecoburbia16 Livingstone StBeaconsfield,Come and learn the basics of solar passive design and how to simply and inexpensively apply them to your home to save energy and money.
About this Event
During this session we will cover the basics of good solar house design using an easy to understand model house. We will cover orientation, ventilation, thermal mass, insulation, window furnishings . . . . and more!You will then have the opportunity to apply that knowledge to evaluate how solar passive your current home is, and what you can do about it. You will be able to evaluate house plans and maybe make some of your own.
You will leave this session with a list of some simple changes you can make (even many that will cost you next to nothing) to make your home more sustainable
The $5 registration fee enrolls you in this course. After we have finished you will be asked to pay in keeping with your circumstances from $20 - $50.
