Sustainability
While Port Coogee meets the high sustainability standards set by the Western Australian Government and the City of Cockburn, Australand's approach to sustainability goes way beyond a tick-box exercise.
It's all about creating a community with a strong economic base, a focus on people and initiatives to protect our planet now and in the future.
Key sustainability elements of the Port Coogee plan include:
Economic
- Attracting $1 billion worth of investment to the Cockburn region over the next 20 years - a significant boom to the local economy.
- Generating 1,200 jobs over the next 20 years - creating genuine opportunity for local people.
Environment
- Cleaning up a former industrial wasteland.
- Enhancing and protecting the coastline and local vegetation.
- Reducing potable water by 50 per cent per household.
- Reducing energy consumption by 50 cent per household.
Social
- A pulsating Marina Village with public boating facilities, shops, entertainment areas, cafés and community services.
- Innovative urban design that encourages walking, cycling and public transport.
- Safe and easy access to public parks, jetties, fishing platforms, boardwalks and the waterfront.
