Vale Jeffrey Robinson

Jeffrey Robinson, was a strong advocate for Passivhaus and a Board Member of the Australian Passivhaus Association. He passed suddenly in a road accident in April 2024, leaving behind his wife, their daughters and a huge legacy in the Australian Built Environment.


Farewell to the man with the question, Vale Jeffrey Robinson.

A fierce advocate and leader for our Passivhaus community and industry alike. Jeff's infectious enthusiasm and inquiring mind brought a light to our industry like no other.

Over the last 24 hours, many have reflected on Jeff's impact. With so many beautiful sentiments shared, Jeff is remembered as a giant, inspiring, passionate, towering (referring to his height), a mentor, impactful, generous, kind, curious, consistent, compassionate and positive individual.

Offering tireless amounts of effort, time, knowledge and support to our plight both professionally and personally, his commitment to sustainability and a sustainable built environment leaves a legacy that we will only see the true impact of in the decades to come.

Our thoughts are with Jeff's family, but also our colleagues at Aurecon, Living Future Institute of Australia, Green Building Council of Australia, The Heritage Council of Victoria, Property Council of Australia and others who worked closely with him.

Thank you for everything, Jeff.
