For more than 25 years, the national event run by Renew, Sustainable House Day, has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in.
Join us for a walking tour, talks, and hands-on workshops on Sunday 17th May 2026.
Step inside some of Darwin’s most inspiring homes and discover how sustainable design can transform the way we live. Join us for a relaxed morning exploring real homes that showcase smart energy use, passive cooling, and tropical garden design that works with the climate—not against it.
Choose from two sessions featuring a guided walking tour of local homes and a series of short talks and hands-on workshops led by local experts, or just join us for the talks and workshops - your choice.
Learn practical tips you can apply to your own home, whether you rent, own, or are just getting started.
