Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about:
- Bushfire-resilient homes and building design
- Retrofitting existing homes to improve bushfire resilience
- Bushfire-ready landscaping and property preparation
- Climate adaptation and sustainable living
- Emergency preparedness and planning
- Renewable energy and household sustainability
- Communications and connectivity during emergencies
- Practical demonstrations and interactive activities
The expo will be held on Sunday 11 October, 10am-4pm, at the Lexton Community Hub and Lexton Recreation Reserve.
More details, including the full program, participating organisations and the special guest announcement, will be released in the coming weeks.
The Resilient Homes Expo is being delivered by Pyrenees Shire Council through the Safer Together Bushfire Resilience Project.
