Carseldine Village has achieved Australian Excellence earning a 5 Star Green Star – Communities certified rating
Carseldine Village (CV) has been awarded a 5 Star Green Star – Communities rating, an independent certification from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) that identifies CV as a showcase of Australian Excellence in master planning. The rating assesses five aspects of the Carseldine Village development: governance, liveability, economic prosperity, environment and innovation.
As a Queensland Government project, sustainability has always been a key element of the CV masterplan. You may have heard that it is one of the first freehold terrace residential developments in Queensland to deliver 100% net zero energy emission homes.
CV is also leading the way to a greener future by setting sustainability benchmarks via new building and construction techniques, improving energy and water systems, creating novel applications for the latest green technologies, and reducing waste and carbon emissions.
As our 5 Star Green Star – Communities rating attests, CV is more than a leading edge sustainable development– it is cultivating a positive and healthy lifestyle as well.
As a resident, you will enjoy:
- An active and healthy community: With wide, tree-lined streets, hectares of preserved bushland and parks, extensive pathways and The Green – our 4.4 hectare, $6.5 million state-of-the-art energy and water-efficient sports and recreation precinct – you’ll find so many ways to get out, get active and get social in your local community.
- A connected community: With a vibrant village heart, all homes within approximately 400 metres of public transport, and the Brisbane CBD a short commute away (less than 30 minutes by train), you’ll be connected to all that you need. Local shops and restaurants, nearby schools, hospitals and more are all at your convenience.
- An affordable and sustainable community: All of our freehold terrace homes are energy-efficient, net zero energy emission, and climate-resilient, stocked with the latest green technologies to significantly reduce your ongoing cost of living. From the solar PV and battery system in every terrace home, to the smart irrigation system that keeps our playing fields green while saving water, sustainability and energy savings are key at CV.
- A prosperous community: Along with being closely connected to transport hubs providing access to employment opportunities outside of the precinct, CV is designed to offer significant economic benefits from within. The local high street is set for an influx of new businesses, and the terrace homes are designed to cater to contemporary business practices with flexible floorplans that suit working from home.
Our 5 Star Green Star – Communities rating (Australia’s most recognised sustainability and liveability rating tool for neighbourhoods and precincts) confirms that CV is shining a light on what’s possible by creating an inspiring, sustainable community where people love to live.
