This August 2006 article discusses the new shopping complex being developed by Mirvac in the Queensland suburb of Springfield. The writer is obviously impressed with the development both visually, though maps, models and artists impressions of the completed centre and also from a sustainability perspective. Mirvac has incurred significant expense to introduce environmentally friendly aspects to its development, assisting it to earn the six star efficiency rating that it is striving to achieve. The article claims that Mirvac has achieved world wide best practice in ecological sustainability through its innovative design and other energy and water saving initiatives. It has become the first Australian property company to list on the London Stock Exchange’s sustainable and ethical index, the FTSE4Good Global Index.
The article also talks about population and other growth in the Springfield area generally and the infrastructure that is being put in place to deal with the growth. Finally, the article goes on to discuss the overseas research that Mirvac undertook to draw inspiration for the project, and the impact that it will have on future Australian benchmarks for ecologically sustainable developments.
