First Steps Count Taree
This is a community project especially providing support to local families, predominantly local Biripi People and those needing community support. Called First Steps Count, it is a Living Building Challenge Project, the peak building standard for sustainability, climate adaption and a net positive return of energy and water.
This exciting project provides many services, including health and family support. However, it provides fresh, site-grown food, playspaces for differing ages, meeting places, and culture through art and connections with the surrounding community, school, and social institutions. Food and agriculture will be intensive production of fruit and vegetables and a more extensive scale adaption of indigenous food production that extends into the surrounding landscape.
