How to Use The Guide

Next to each property that has been assessed you will find a key with a mix of eggs, tadpoles and frogs.

They key represents a group of features of the property. When there are eggs or tadpoles instead of a frog only some of the features are present.

The 1st Frog	LAND and SEA Soil, Native Habitat, Revegetation, Bio-Diversity, Risk Management, Animals, Fish.
The 2nd Frog	BUILT ENVIRONMENT Energy Efficient Design, Embodied Energy Assessement, ReUse, Renewal, Recycling, Retrofit, Appliances.
The 3rd Frog	COMMUNITY Enterprise, Eco Villages and CoHousing, Education and Training, Landcare, Diversity and Tolerance, Heritage, Community Development, Neighbours, Social Equity, Transport.
The 4th Frog	ENERGY Use and Re-Use, Generation, Waste, Renewables, Resources
The 5th Frog	WATER Use, ReUse, Waste, Catchment, Tanks, Dams, Springs

There are 5 stages of metamorphosis of egg to frog. We use these to indicate properties that may be in a stage of transition to EcoProperty.

The further the tadpole is in its metamorphosis to frog for that group of features the closer that property is to EcoProperty.
