Coomera Developer's Recycling Program Up and Running
Wednesday 20 May 2009
Heritage Pacific’s Genesis development in Coomera has another string to add to its environmentally sustainable bow with the release of figures showing the company is recovering up to 75% of the waste generated from onsite housing construction.
The target set by Heritage Pacific was originally 70%, however the latest figures show an increase of 5% making the total recyclable amount 75%.
Genesis Project Manager, Stephen Harrison said he was pleased with the result and with a strong emphasis on sustainability at Genesis this is another milestone reached during the development.
“The materials we send away in skip bins from our sites include bricks and pavers, concrete, earth and soil, glass and plastic.”
“With this in mind, we have made a decision to increase our target to 90% in the next 12 months.”
“We have the ability to move remaining materials from one house over to the next house to minimise our wastage and this will further enhance the level of recycling we achieve compared to traditional builders,” Mr Harrison said.
Genesis homesites start at $239,900 with sizes ranging from 600 to 739sqm.
Upon completion, Genesis will be home to over 2,500 residents.
Heritage Pacific is a leading environmental developer in QLD and currently holds industry awards for Queensland’s Best Masterplanned Development from the UDIA and the Property Council of Australia’s Best Residential Development in 2008.
Since 1987, Heritage Pacific has welcomed more than 10,000 families to over 25 communities throughout South-East Queensland and has established one of the country’s fastest-growing home-building businesses.
Heritage Pacific has also developed a portfolio of commercial and retail assets valued at more than $350 million and built an established funds management business.
