Sustainability is built in from
the early stages of our projects.

Future-proofing

We are future-proofing places against environmental and economic impacts, ensuring they are resource efficient with reduced carbon and ecological footprints.

We future-proof our places by costing and designing-in resource efficiency measures that reduce water and energy consumption.

Energy and water saving opportunities are identified at many different scales from the individual dwelling, to the apartment block, all the way up to the precinct or suburb.

We demonstrate reduced carbon and gas emissions, with South Australia committed to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

We are committed to reducing waste-to-landfill and supporting the South Australian Strategic Plan target to reduce waste to landfill by 35% by 2020.

We address climate change and vulnerability risks by developing built environments that are responsive to climate change.
