EcoLiv off-grid project gets government grant
Ecoliv’s new sustainable living and off-grid project got a big helping hand last week.
Eco-friendly building company Ecoliv’s new sustainable living and off-grid project got a big helping hand last week.
Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green visited Ecoliv’s site The Gurdies to announce the new project, which she said will deliver 14 new jobs to the community and is funded through the Labor Government’s Regional Jobs Fund.
It will include the construction facility, administration office and staff amenities as well as a display home for Ecoliv’s carbon neutral range of EcoGeneration modular design homes. The project will be powered by A 10-kilowatt off-grid solar power plant.
The $1.58 million project will double Ecoliv’s production, while the new display home will showcase the latest technologies for a sustainable approach to living. The display home will enable people to view water, energy and waste reduction systems in action.
Member for Bass Jordan Crugnale said backing the project was a win for the region, “boosting local manufacturing, creating more local jobs and bringing more visitors to this beautiful part of the Bass Coast”.
