COOLmob is a 2020 Sustainable House Day community partner and will be virtually opening homes and gardens in Darwin with sustainable features on Sunday 20 September 2020. This year will be the ninth year COOLmob have run this event in Greater Darwin. 

For more than 20 years, the national event run by Renew, Sustainable House Day, has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in.
