Sustainable Living: How Our Properties Are Leading the Way

Mirvac's Commitment to Sustainability

Mirvac’s sustainability initiative is built on the foundation of our ambitious plan, "This Changes Everything" which aims to make all our buildings net positive in energy and water usage by 2030. Our strategy is multi-faceted, focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and enhancing biodiversity. This holistic approach ensures that our developments are not only environmentally friendly but also resilient and adaptable to future challenges.

Key Sustainability Initiatives

Energy Efficiency

One of our primary goals is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovative design and technology. Our properties incorporate energy-efficient lighting, solar panels, and advanced HVAC systems to minimize energy consumption. We also use smart home technologies that allow residents to monitor and manage their energy use more effectively.

Water Conservation

Water is a precious resource, and our projects are designed to use it wisely. We implement water-saving fixtures, rainwater harvesting systems, and greywater recycling to reduce consumption. Our landscaping is tailored to include drought-resistant plants and efficient irrigation systems to further conserve water.

Waste Reduction

Mirvac has a strong focus on reducing waste during construction and operation. We aim for high rates of recycling and reuse, ensuring that minimal waste goes to landfill. Our developments also encourage residents to adopt sustainable waste management practices through comprehensive recycling programs and community education.

Enhancing Biodiversity

Our projects are designed to enhance local biodiversity by creating green spaces and wildlife corridors. We plant native species to support local ecosystems and incorporate green roofs and walls to provide habitats for birds and insects. These efforts contribute to the overall health of the environment and create a more pleasant living experience for our residents

Sustainability in Our Projects:

The Fabric

The Fabric in Altona North is a flagship example of Mirvac’s commitment to sustainable living. This master-planned community is designed for Future Ready Living, with a focus on environmental responsibility and enhancing the well-being of its residents. The homes at The Fabric are built to achieve high energy ratings, incorporating features such as double glazing, high-performance insulation, and solar power systems, which significantly reduce energy consumption and lower residents’ utility bills. The community is adorned with extensive green spaces and parks, featuring native plants that support local wildlife and require minimal water. Additionally, community gardens such as The Cooks Patch allow residents to grow their own produce, fostering a sense of community and self-sufficiency. This holistic approach ensures that sustainability is not just a feature of the homes, but a way of life for everyone in the community.

Green Square

Green Square in Sydney is another shining example of Mirvac’s sustainability values. This urban renewal project incorporates numerous green features, such as energy-efficient buildings, extensive green spaces, and advanced water management systems. The community is designed to be walkable and bike-friendly, reducing reliance on cars and promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Marrick & Co

Marrick & Co in Marrickville, Sydney, is Mirvac’s first “One Planet Living” community, designed to be environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. The project features recycled materials, solar power, and water-saving fixtures. It also promotes community well-being through shared spaces, community gardens, and a strong emphasis on local biodiversity. Pavilions Pavilions at Sydney Olympic Park is designed with a focus on sustainability and community. The development includes solar power, energy-efficient appliances, and water-saving fixtures. It also boasts abundant green spaces, including rooftop gardens and communal areas that encourage social interaction and community building.

Our Progress and Future Goals

Our future goals remain ambitious. We are continually exploring new technologies and methods to enhance sustainability in our developments. From integrating electric vehicle charging stations to using more sustainable building materials, Mirvac is committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable living.

Sustainable living is not just a trend; it’s the future. At Mirvac, we are proud to be leading the way with innovative, sustainable developments that set new standards for the industry. Our projects, like The Fabric, Green Square, Marrick & Co, and Pavilions, demonstrate that sustainability can go hand-in-hand with comfort, community, and quality of life. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener, more sustainable future.
