Setting a new benchmark for sustainable community living

Setting a new benchmark for sustainable community living

GroupGSA partnered closely with Stockland to deliver an accredited 6 Star Green Star community, setting a new international benchmark for sustainable residential design.

The master plan brings together a diverse range of medium density housing within a connected landscape framework, underpinned by an integrated WSUD strategy that supports both environmental performance and community education.

Homes are designed with solar integration embedded into the architectural form, achieving a minimum 7 Star NABERS rating across the development.

The design responds to panoramic views while prioritising flexibility and long term liveability, supporting ageing in place and inclusive community outcomes. The development also incorporates 5% affordable housing, reinforcing its commitment to social sustainability.
