Home >Environment >Sustainable Mandurah Home

The City of Mandurah and Mirvac Fini, in partnership with Solar Dwellings, Ultimate Homes and Sustainable Consulting designed and built the Sustainable Mandurah Home in 2005.

A first for Western Australia in sustainable housing, the Sustainable Mandurah Home moves sustainable design, construction and living from the margins to the mainstream. It is affordable, ecologically responsible and stylish.

The Sustainable Mandurah Home has been open to the public since May 2005 and aims to familiarise visitors with sustainable design and living practices. Whether you are building a new home, renovating your existing home or renting a property, the Sustainable Mandurah Home is a hands-on display home that shows you how easy it is to reduce your ecological impact without compromising your lifestyle or your budget. The home is a resource for the whole community that supports environmental education in Mandurah and the Peel Region.

The Home is situated at 18 Grandmere Parade in Meadow Springs and is open every Wednesday from 2pm - 4pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 1pm - 5pm.

If you would like to bring a community or school group to the Home at any other time please contact the City of Mandurah.

Now in its seventh successful year of helping residents create comfortable, energy and water efficient homes, the Sustainable Mandurah Home is now offering a four week information series.

All talks are presented by industry professionals, and are relevant to all households whether building or renovating, thinking or planning, owning or renting. Save money and the environment!

The Sustainable Mandurah Home has recently undergone an energy-saving lighting retrofit. LED Supplies Australia supplied the Home with new LED bulbs which have been installed all throughout the house.

LED light bulbs are the most efficient type of light bulb currently available and the new installation at the Home will equate to a significant reduction of energy each year.

If you are interested in retrofitting your lighting to a more environmentally-friendly option, come along to the Sustainable Mandurah Home and check out the new editions. Information on the lights can be found at the Home.
