The Boroondara Sustainability Network is working on the following priority projects during 2009.

Sustainable Living Open Home Scheme

Residents whose homes have been converted along Ecologically Sustainable Living (ESL) principles would offer open days and make available their experience and expertise to a broader public.. The scheme could take a similar approach to the established Open Garden Scheme, with a more or less formalised annual roster and leaflets promoting the scheme.
