Mission Statement

STOP PRESS

The Nillumbik Mudbrick Association (NMA) was formed principally in response to the introduction of the Firstrate 5-star energy program for buildings.

This program impacts on earth walled homes within the Melbourne climatic region and threatens the earth building industry, designers, builders, subtrades and finishers.

The NMA welcomes members from within and outside the Nillumbik Shire who share their concern for the future of the earth building industry.
