A sustainable community
Energy, materials, waste, ecosystems, water and community were key considerations in the formulation of the North Shore masterplan. Energy efficient homes are encouraged with sustainable initiatives showcased at the North Shore Display Village.
Partnerships with organisations such as Greening Australia and Ergon have also played a role in North Shore's development. We have partnered with Ergon to create 'The Handbook', a free resource to help residents make choices during the design process to improve their homes energy efficiency.
