Project on track to achieve Living Building Challenge™ certification
For its shopping centre at Burwood Brickworks,
Frasers Property
Australia is aiming to create the world’s most sustainable
retail
development. In terms of design, it’s already a world leader.
Frasers Property has just received a 6 Star
Green Star Design and
As-Built v1.1 (Design Review) rating for the project from the
Green
Building Council of Australia, representing World Leadership.
“This rating is an important benchmark in our progress towards achieving
our aspirations for the Burwood Brickworks community,” says Peri
Macdonald, Executive General Manager – Retail, Frasers Property
Australia.
“The shopping centre at
Burwood Brickworks will be the natural heart of
the sustainable new community we’re creating and will draw visitors from
near and far, due to its unique design, unrivalled comfort and
innovations like its rooftop urban farm.”
The rating follows the announcement that a new six-screen Reading
Cinemas complex will headline the super-neighbourhood centre’s dining,
leisure and entertainment offer. Burwood Brickworks will also house a
full-line 4,200sqm Woolworths supermarket and Dan Murphy’s store.
Frasers Property is aiming for the shopping centre at Burwood Brickworks
to be the first retail development in the world to achieve Living
Building Challenge™ certification. This means it will generate more
energy than it consumes on an annual basis, retain and recycle all of
the
water it uses, dedicate 20% of its site footprint for food growing,
among many other sustainable initiatives.
A mix of on-site rooftop solar PV and off-site
renewable energy,
utilising the latest in battery storage, will generate 105% of the
energy required for the building. North Melbourne-based Russell &
George has been appointed to ensure the base building interior design
meets the elevated biophilic design requirements that Living Building
Challenge™ compliance demands.
Designed by Melbourne-based
NH Architecture, the 12,900sqm Burwood
Brickworks
shopping centre will be the heart of the mixed-use community
and will benefit from a catchment of some 100,000 people. With a food
and beverage focus and a choice of entertainment on offer, also proposed
as part of the centre’s tenant mix is a child care centre and medical
centre, as well as health and fitness opportunities.
The centre is expected to open in late 2019.
In addition to the 6 Star Green Star Design Review rating, the overall
Burwood Brickworks mixed-use community is certified with a 6 Star Green
Star Communities rating.
