Site visit event
We Push Buttons was proud support the launch and site visit of Stage 1 of an exciting new property development beginning in Castlemaine, The Paddock eco village.
On Friday 16 June at 7.30 pm at Buda Historic Home and Garden, a full house of interested individuals and families had the opportunity to hear from the project team behind The Paddock eco village. Participants were part of a presentation and workshop outlining stage one of this remarkable new development.
The event was followed up by a site visit the next morning. Visitors were treated to muffins and coffee around a bonfire and walked through the plans for 27 architect-designed homes set around areas of shared space and communal gardens. Around 75% of the total land area will be taken up by food gardens, small wetlands, walkways, and recreation areas. A community centre will sit at the heart of the development.
The Paddock eco village will model a new standard for sustainable community living and is an inspiring model for future housing developments. With each home being smaller than average and drawing power from grid-connected solar panels, the village will have low bills and carbon emissions.
“We want to create a new standard for sustainable living that fosters a sense of community and a close connection to nature.” Heather Barret, Hub Foundation.
It was a beautiful morning and the bush was in its full winter glory.
