During the redevelopment of Claisebrook Village, important sites were conserved and a number of public artworks were constructed using recycled materials from demolished buildings, recognising local Indigenous heritage.

Designing, building and living in a sustainable way is internationally recognised as vital to the longevity and success of communities. We want to lead the way in Australia, demonstrating that doing things differently (and sustainably) can be achieved without compromising economic viability.

Our holistic philosophy towards sustainability is shown in our triple-bottom-line approach to all our redevelopments. This means that the wider economic, environmental and social responsibilities of each project are at the forefront of planning and checked against during all development stages.

Case Study 1: Claisebrook Village
During the redevelopment of Claisebrook Village, important sites were conserved and a number of public artworks were constructed using recycled materials from demolished buildings and recognises local Indigenous heritage.

Environmental rehabilitation of the Gasworks site was also a major component of the redevelopment. Building policies will ensure future developments at Claisebrook Village continue to be environmentally sustainable.

Case Study 2: Riverside
Although the entire Riverside project reflects sustainable planning, the Waterbank Precinct is a great example of regeneration and reuse. The Waterbank area includes a section of reclaimed river that still gets flooded with an old channel, 60-70 metres deep, that flows through to the Barrack Street foreshore. To capitalise on these features, planning has integrated innovative water reuse, energy savings and waste disposal methods while making sure no detrimental impact is made on the river.

Case Study 3: East Perth Power Station
The East Perth Power Station is one of the most significant heritage buildings in Western Australia and represents an important part of the State's industrial history. While plans are developed for its adaptive reuse, remedial works have been undertaken to preserve the shell and structure of the buildings.

Case Study 4: The Link
As with all our redevelopment projects, The Link encompasses our approach to economic, social and environmental considerations to urban planning. The project will see significant new employment opportunities in the short, medium and long term during construction. Ongoing employment opportunities will emerge as each area is developed and new commercial operations open.

Improved public transport infrastructure will introduce new residents, workers, visitors and special event crowds to the area, resulting in a significant increase in the use of public transport usage, supporting efficient resource use.
