Here is a nice article in the Guardian newspaper on one of the projects we have helped design and landscape – the landscape and biodiversity elements of this operationally carbon neutral community at The Cape at Cape Paterson in Victoria’s Bass Coast.
The integrated sustainability elements – efficient all electric passive solar homes with solar, no gas, and provision for electric vehicle charging – is allowing a whole community to decouple from increasingly expensive fossil fuels.
“Now generating more energy than it is using, The Cape aims to be a litmus test for the standard Australia needs to meet to combat climate change. All homes are also equipped to enable electric vehicle charging.
“We haven’t had a bill from the sun lately that we’ve noticed … People here are averaging annual energy bills under $500 a year,”
It is fantastic to see a previously cleared cattle station now hosting restored wetlands and waterways with a wide diversity of birds visiting and living on the site. As well as a mention of the $2 million community farm designed and built by The Sustainable Landscape Company now being developed in the community.
