Help us build a new Natural Building Website for Australian builds, workshops and learning opportunities!
A new website is being developed which will combine all natural building workshops, events, seminars and provide information for volunteering and how to hire a professional to help you build and realise your natural building dream. We need your support to help get this website off the ground! Once the website is up and running it will provide access to the public for all events coming up that are related to natural building, charging a small membership/annual fee for workshop providers and professionals. All natural building professionals and providers are encouraged to get behind this website project and sign up for a subscription To help this project along any donations are most welcome and will be beneficial for all involved as it will function as a one-stop-shop for all natural building events, people and opportunities across Australia Thanks for your support News
Dr Martin Freney heard that the wastewater codes were under review in SA, so he wrote to them and asked if they would revisit his application for an "indoor greywater wicking bed" which was turned down in 2013. It was approved and now dispels the rumour that grey water wicking beds cannot be permitted in Australia. Contact Marty for more information or detail www.earthshipecohomes.com.au/
