The Narara Ecovillage Building and Landscape Standards have been developed in support of the community’s vision, mission and aims and are implemented by our Community to further our aims to research, design and build a thriving Ecovillage committed to sustaining a healthy, resilient and culturally rich planet. The Wiki pages listed in the Table of Contents below have been created by the Building Standards Working Group to both describe the standards and provide information on the building approval process. We hope its will assist Lot Owners as they move through the design and construction of their homes at Narara. You will be taken to a Wiki page listed by selecting it.
