Victorian Government funds modular-built sustainable off-grid housing development.
Regional Victorian modular builder Ecoliv is positioned for expansion in the Bass Coast with a new sustainable living and off-grid project supported by the Victorian Government.
Ecoliv were previously based in Wonthaggi, and relocated to The Gurdies (40km north east of Phillip Island), and according Government sources the sustainable project will deliver 14 new jobs.
The modular-built project will include the construction facility, administration office and staff amenities as well as a display home for Ecoliv’s carbon neutral range of EcoGeneration homes. The project will be powered by a 10-kilowatt off-grid solar power plant.
It’s anticipated the $1.58 million project will double Ecoliv’s production of sustainable modular-built buildings, while the new display home will highlight a sustainable approach to living. The display home will enable people to view water, energy and waste reduction systems in action.
According to Government sources, Ecoliv is the first modular builder to introduce a 7-star energy rating to its homes.

On announcing the allocation of funds, Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Danielle Green said: “We’re backing this company to expand in the Bass Coast region because we know how important it is to support local jobs and diversify the economy.”
The company incorporates sustainable practices to its operations and designs, which are constructed locally on-site at its current facility in The Gurdies before being transported and assembled at a final location.
It’s being financed by the Regional Jobs Fund which is part of the Victorian Government’s Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund.
