Description
In the past 12 months Council approved an application for an all-electric, net-zero, mixed-use residential building with co-housing in Cheltenham. The development will deliver apartments with an average 7.5 Star NatHERS home energy rating and provides rooftop solar, electric vehicle charging, a bike repair station and shared electric scooters and electric vehicles for co-housing residents.
In Moorabbin, Council approved another exemplar ESD mixed-use residential development that will deliver apartments with an average 7.5 Star NatHERS home energy rating. The development features a communal rooftop garden with food production for residents, and will achieve improved urban cooling through the installation of a green wall.
Drawing on case studies from other municipalities and in collaboration with all relevant teams (parking, local laws, compliance, finance etc), Council will collate industry insights on incentives that aim to deliver tangible and measurable ESD benefits.
