A revolutionary example of progressive and sustainable development, says the Murray Valley Standard, is on its way for Murray Bridge in South Australia. It’s a fully commercial residential site setting new world-class and affordable standards. These include the:

• Reuse of all water (including stormwater, grey and black water).
• A cut to the Carbon Footprint associated with home use by 85%.
• Cutting potable water use by a factor of 10.
• Highly energy efficient households.
• Initiatives that deliver a significant cut to the Ecological Footprint associated with the homes and living in them. 
• Fitting all 320 houses with 1 kW of Solar PV each.

At this site GreenMode is helping SAID Property Developments deliver a unique package. Many of the initiatives are likely to cost less, or no more, than those that would have a much greater environmental impact at a similar but conventional residential site. The initiatives are detailed here and the work shows how we can simultaneously get excellent results for the environment and economy.
