ECOBURBIA - Building community for mental health, sustainability & resilience

Do you know your neighbours? Are you interested in how the development of community can make our suburbs more sustainable and resilient? Come and spend some time with Shani from Ecoburbia and hear her ideas about the development of geographic community. Fresh from delivering a talk at TEDxPerth about her local community – the “West Beacy Bunch” - she will be discussing some of the lessons this story has for your own situation. You will have a chance to share some ways you could improve the community feel of your own geographic community. You’re guaranteed to leave with the skills & inspiration to develop the community where you live!

Ecoburbia is a little slice of sustainable living magic! Part urban farm (yes, there are goats, chooks, and a huge veggie patch!), part eco-friendly home of the future, and part community hub, Ecoburbia shows how clever design and creative thinking can turn a suburban block into a thriving, sustainable paradise. With solar smarts, water-wise systems, shared living spaces, and loads of hands-on know-how, Tim & Shani are on a mission to inspire people to live lighter, greener, and happier. If you’ve ever wondered what a truly sustainable lifestyle looks like – this is it! www.ecoburbia.com.au
