Our chance to get together to discuss Permaculture in depth, improve our skills, share our expertise and explore new interests with like minded peers. We will also discuss issues concerning Permaculture training and the networking required for the movement to maximize its influence and involve Permaculture in initiating powerful change in Australia. By the end of the conference we will have the backbone of a document – a resource for us all to help us manage change.
Our discussions will be more detailed and in depth and will assume you are familiar with the basic principles of Permaculture. This 2 day segment of our 4 day event is aimed at members of the Permaculture community, usually people with a completed Permaculture Design Course(PDC) or recognised equivalent.
