Selandra Community Place 2016

House Notes – Selandra Community Place

An 8-star, zero-energy community place, which promotes sustainable living and demonstrates ways to save money and the environment through 4 key themes: energy, waste, water and well being.

Located in the City of Casey within the Selandra Rise residential community, Selandra Community Place is a unique and innovative community place where health and wellbeing meets environment.

Selandra Community Place provides residents with sustainability information, access to health and wellbeing activities and a small business centre as soon as they move in, along with promoting opportunities for residents to meet and connect with their neighbours.

The Australian-first concept has been developed and implemented by City of Casey, Stockland, Henley Properties Group and the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA).

Showcasing the cornerstones of sustainable living including ways to save water, decrease energy use, minimise waste and improve wellbeing, Selandra Community Place demonstrates simple ways to save money and improve health and wellbeing.

Ideas for environmental sustainability and cost savings for people building or renovating a home have been designed around four platforms – energy, water, waste and wellbeing.
