Kirra Project Index

Kirra Eco-village Community Projects

With an extensive list of projects, it will take some time to execute all of these. Some will be short lived and executed quickly, whilst others may take many years to complete and document. (This current list of projects has taken many years to formulate and document - most of the notes are from the research plan that was created many years before the Kirra eco-village community project was initiated, that is, they represent ideas or interest, not necessarily a fully-fledged project.) Some of these projects have multiple parts, like the "Kirra Solar Punk" project, which is more of a concept and has been broken down into a variety of projects to meet the "Kirra Solar-punk" objective.

Code Named Projects in Red Italics are commercially sensitive projects and are not publicly available at this time. As we are a research organisation it is not uncommon to have projects that are not publicly available. Over time as these projects evolve they may become publicly available. If the responsible committee determines that these projects are to be released, they may be licensed under some form of open-source license, otherwise they maybe commercially licensed.
