Environmental sustainability in the neighbourhood
On the other side of the letterbox we've been working hard to make Hobsonville Point a healthy, happy and environmentally friendly place to live too. The development is designed to be pedestrian-friendly and residents have lots of transport choices. Many of our residents report they can manage with one car, where they needed two in their previous suburb.
Here's some of the steps we've taken to look after the environment:
-
10,000 native plants have been grown onsite from local seed for planting throughout the community
-
85% of building waste is recycled
-
All stormwater is treated before being discharged to the harbour
-
100% of dwellings are within 800m of a bus stop
-
We’re building a ‘continuous vegetation corridor’ covering 10% of the development, to protect biodiversity
