McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre is our southern green hub demonstration site. It showcases the type of energy efficient upgrades and systems that households can put in place to reduce energy and water consumption, waste to landfill and greenhouse gas emissions.
Get inspired on changes you could make at your home to be a little greener and save money in the process.
While you’re at the Centre take a self-guided tour using the Green Hub trail maps available on site or for larger groups book a tour with a guide.
For those that can’t get to the Centre or are keen for a sneak peek take our virtual tour.
