Sustainable Lifestyle at North Harbour: A Step to a Greener Future

November 14, 2018

EnviroDevelopment Accreditation

A major part of North Harbour’s vision for our unique master planned development is our commitment to creating a sustainable living environment, providing lifestyle opportunities which both enhance and incorporate our natural environment. Our proposed 1000 acres of open space and parkland is a vast space (larger than Central Park in New York) including areas which will be open to the community and protected in perpetuity. Each home at North Harbour is no further than 325 metres from part of this 1000 acres of open space and parkland, affording our residents a convenient lifestyle whilst still being able to remain connected to nature and the great outdoors. In fact, almost half the entire North Harbour site will be open, green space and parkland.

It is a testament to our planning and design teams bringing this vision to life, that North Harbour has achieved a highly sought-after EnviroDevelopment accreditation. EnviroDevelopment is a scientifically based assessment scheme which independently reviews development projects and awards certification to those that achieve outstanding performance across four or more of the provided elements – Ecosystems, Waste, Energy, Materials, Water and Community.

Project Director Peter Lightbody said: “North Harbour was awarded accreditation across all six elements of the EnviroDevelopment criteria. This is an independent assessment of our development against key environmental, sustainability and community criteria. We are very pleased to have achieved accreditation recognising the hard work that has gone into planning and delivering our community. We look forward to continuing towards our goal of sustainable development which enhances and sustains our local environments and eco-systems.”

Reforestation & Rehabilitation

The original North Harbour site has had many incarnations prior to its present-day identity, and many of these uses caused the land to be cleared i.e. sugar plantation, farming and so on (read more about previous landowners at www.northharbourheritagepark.org ). North Harbour has 9km of river frontage to the Caboolture River, and it is proposed that this be open to the public and protected as a wildlife corridor. In order to do this we need to reforest and rehabilitate the area by planting native trees and shrubs to encourage the creation of wildlife habitat which can become sustainable. So far, we have planted 60,000 trees and by the end of the project will have planted hundreds of thousands more.

As part of our community partnership initiatives, we have held several Tree Planting Days to allow our community to take part in reforesting an area along the Caboolture River. Local families have had the opportunity to plant some trees they’ll be able to come back and see for years to come.

North Harbour, A Sustainable Lifestyle Community

North Harbour’s commitment to creating a sustainable lifestyle community sets it apart from other, similar, developments in the Moreton Bay Region.

A key difference that our residents can enjoy is the open space. We are turning approximately 1000 acres (almost half) of the site into publicly accessible open space – parks, playgrounds, sporting fields, walking and cycle trails. We have already delivered two great parks at The Village Park and Reflections Park, as well as open space and walking tracks and there are three more areas currently under construction that will be opened in 2019.

We also have various fitness activities for people to enjoy – a weekly parkrun which is one of only three cross country parkruns in SEQ, we also have regular fitness bootcamp’s in our Village Park, and yoga at Reflections Park.

There is much more to come, but there is already plenty of space for people to get outside and enjoy.

Anything But Standard

The fantastic advantage to walking through a Stroud Homes display home before you choose a builder is that you have the opportunity to view their quality of work and finishes.

“A lot of visitors are impressed that most of the finishes in this display home are from our standard inclusions range,” says Jace.

The award-winning Brisbane North team take all clients on a one-on-one tour of the house to point out the standard inclusions and few upgrades they’ve chosen. “This is so our clients can see the build quality for themselves and also the value in what we offer in our black and white quotes,” says Jace. All new homes built with Stroud Homes are pre-priced with standard inclusions to take the guesswork out of building. You know upfront exactly what your home will look like and how much it will cost. We also have a range of bonus inclusions, which do change from time-to-time, so check out our website to see what’s available now,” says Jace.

Impressive inclusions come standard with Stroud Homes Brisbane North, including a 900mm Westinghouse Cooktop.
