Runcorn Central aims to develop a new mixed-use precinct that showcases leading yet practical, sustainable masterplanning for the subtropical climate.
Sustainability Principles
These best-practice sustainability principles plan to be embedded into the structure plan to underpin exceptional sustainability outcomes throughout the design, construction, and operation of the development.
Our sustainability principles complement Brisbane City Council’s Design-led City Strategy and New World City Design Guide – Buildings that Breathe.
- Saving energy and water and reducing waste
- Improving the built environment, especially interactions between land use, urban form, and environment
- Protecting and enhancing biodiversity, natural areas, and waterways
- Encourage healthy and active lifestyles, community spirit, local facilities, and alternative transport modes
- Accessible and flexible design that welcomes a diversity of people and adapts to their changing needs
