The existing driveway runs from Main Neerim Road to the Top Homestead platform. Off this driveway, a long track runs along the northeast, north, and western boundaries.
We intend to resurface the Top Garage Platform so it can function as a car park. It’s already cleared and level, but it tends to get boggy.
We intend to extend the boundary track south to the Dam (where it used to go), and then beyond and around to the western point.
We also intend to add some small tracks that lead off the garage platform to the Farm Shed and Market Gardens and a small track up to the top of the top paddock for access to the Centre for Regenerative Futures.
Relevant Permaculture Principles
All permaculture principles inform all aspect of the permaculture design and operations—these more so than others.
Make the best use of nature’s abundance to reduce our consumptive behaviour and dependence on non-renewable resources.
By putting the right things in the right place, relationships develop between them and they support each other.
Small and slow systems are easier to maintain than big ones, making better use of local resources and producing more sustainable outcomes.
The interface between things is where the most interesting events take place. These are often the most valuable, diverse and productive elements in the system.
Caring for all life, emphasizing soil health, biodiversity, and minimal resource consumption for well-being and beyond sustainability.
