For the future
The Inspired Infill Program is designed to guide councils by showing them that there are ways to achieve infill goals that have the added benefits of bringing communities together and creating healthy and sustainable spaces.
WORKSHOPS
This class acts as an introduction to a range of topics including effective infill planning, eco design, models for sustainable infill, landscaping for tight infill spaces, building for maximum eco efficiency, & sustainable and recycled products for building. The class will feature specialists in the field and can be used as a springboard to tak-ing the Sustainable Infill Masterclass.

Coucil Workshops - Train the Trainer

Getting the message out there
Videos
Objectives:
To educate Perth residents about building, designing, and the benefits of living in a sustainably-minded & liveable home. Delivering an accessible and engaging tour allows the wider Perth metro population an opportunity to view a real example of inspired infill to empower them to make changes on their own properties and put pressure on developers and government to make positive new builds.
This is an add-on service that can be pro-vided with any event or workshop where we will employ a professional from the Urban Impact Project to develop an evaluation framework, survey instruments, and survey questions. This survey given out to participants, will look at the efficacy and quality of the workshops, based off responses about behavioural change.
Community Engagment Research
Research
Objectives:
To identify the perceived impact of the Pop-up forest space on the environmental sustainability of the space, the social engagement & economic benefits experienced by the community that frequents or works at the Café.
