Now with over 30 international and national awards since its inception, The Ecovillage at Currumbin must be running low on room to add more feathers to this heavily ladened cap! And its no wonder that this sustainable community development has been continually recognised for its innovation and committment to exercising sustainable living practices – effectively setting the national benchmark for others to aspire to.
A fitting tribute to the visionary and co-founder of the Ecovillage, the late Christoper Walton, who died in a freak accident late last year.
Mr Walton’s partner Kerry Shepherd collected the award, saying she hoped Currumbin would continue to inspire people to live in an environmentally aware way.
“The vision we had for the Ecovillage was to inspire sustainable development within the industry. With this prestigious recognition, and the rationale behind Mr Thompson’s choice, we truly hope that others will continue to make change for the better and create places where people can live more sustainably, with a high quality of life,” she said.
Congratulations to a Southern Gold Coast star! The Ecovillage is located at :
639 Currumbin Creek Road – Corner of Village Way, Currumbin Valley QLD, Australia.
