WHAT ISDRIVING USTO BE MORESUSTAINABLE? integrating land use, planning and transport;OUR CHANGINGCLIMATE improved diversity of housing available forthe community including increased access toaffordable housing and growing the socialhousing portfolio;We are already seeing the effects of climate changein the Canberra region and in communities aroundthe world. We not only need to adapt to a changingclimate, where we can expect to see hotter summersand more extreme weather events, but we also needto continue reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.The sooner we can do this, the more likely it is thatwe will be able to avoid the worst impacts ofclimate change. a focus on a more compact and sustainable citywith integrated transport options;It is also important that we consider our impact on thenatural environment beyond the changing climate,and consider how we can create strong and resilientcommunities with good quality of life. t he ACT is aiming for net zero emissions by 2045 atthe latest, and is on track for all electricity to comefrom renewable sources by 2020, leaving transportand natural gas as the biggest sourcesof greenhouse gas emissions; l iving infrastructure to reduce the urban heat islandeffect and assist in adapting to climate change; water sensitive urban design; a ctive travel to reduce transport emissions,maintain a healthy population, and be the cyclingcapital and most walkable city in Australia; electric vehicles to reduce emissions from thetransport sector; investigate collection of garden and food organicwaste; and demonstration housing projects to showcaseinnovation.ACT GOVERNMENTPOLICIES AND PLANSThe Agency is delivering a suburban and urbandevelopment program on behalf of the ACTGovernment. As such, the Agency operates withinthe current context of policies and plans that set outobjectives for the ACT.

WHERE AREWE NOW ANDWHERE DO WEWANT TO BE?The Agency is developing and selling land within a rangeof suburbs and other sites throughout the ACT. In thesedevelopments, we strive to deliver a sustainable outcome.However, in order to deliver a city of net zero emissions by2045 at the latest, and to ensure social and environmentalsustainability remains at the core of new developments, theAgency needs to do more. We will measure our progressagainst the following categories:CORPORATE Maintaining Actsmart Business AccreditationENVIRONMENTALSUSTAINABILITY Conserving and enhancing biodiversity Reducing emissions from waste and reusing materials Reducing water use and improving water quality Reducing energy use and encouraging renewable energy Improving transport outcomes Adapting to a changing climateSOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY Creating people-focussed neighbourhoodsand communities Supporting affordable living Encouraging safe and healthy people Promoting social inclusion Providing housing choice5
WHAT HAVE WEDONE SO FAR? T he importance of the Superb Parrot has beenreflected in the landscaping such as the entrancefeatures and playgrounds, as well as in themarketing of the new suburb. The suburb hasnaming conventions based on native fauna.THROSBY, SUPERB PARROTSAND NATURE NEXT DOOR The Mingle Program partners with the MulligansFlat Woodland Sanctuary and Woodlandsand Wetlands Trust through its communitydevelopment activities.The suburb of Throsby is located next to theGoorooyaroo Nature Reserve and Mulligans Flat NatureReserve in Gungahlin. These nature reserves are hometo breeding habitat for the Superb Parrot, a vulnerablebird species with a distinctive bright green colour.To ensure the Superb Parrot is celebrated in thesuburb of Throsby, and to protect the surroundingnature reserves, we have taken the following steps: A s many remnant trees as possible were retained aspart of the open space network, with native treesplanted to provide the next generation of trees.Trees were retained and planted no more than100 metres apart to ensure foraging habitat for theSuperb Parrot. L ighting at the edge of the suburb near SuperbParrot breeding trees was limited with the use offull cut off luminaires. C onstruction works were limited around treesidentified as being used by Superb Parrots forbreeding. The walking networks in the suburb weredeveloped in a figure eight pattern to discourageresidents from walking their pets in thenature reserves. A contribution was provided to extend thepredator proof fence that protects the nearbynature reserves. A one hectare site has been set aside for afuture learning centre for the Woodlands andWetlands Trust.6MEETING, CONNECTINGAND CREATING AT STROMLOCOTTAGEStromlo Cottage, located in Coombs, was built in1926 and was originally the home of Charles Gibbs,the caretaker of the former Weston Creek sewerageworks. The cottage is heritage-listed and the Agencyundertook a refurbishment of the building to allowit to be used as a community facility. The buildingnow provides an accessible and welcoming space forcommunity activities and events held as part of theMingle Program. Adaptive reuse of this building offeredgreat opportunities for the surrounding community.ENHANCING LIVINGINFRASTRUCTURE ANDWATER QUALITY AT THEAMAROO GROUP CENTREThe Amaroo Group Centre has trialled a range ofmeasures to improve water quality and enhancetree growth and living infrastructure.The Amaroo Group Centre includes mixed usedevelopment, medium-density residentialdevelopment and car parking. This project used raingardens and permeable pavers to filter stormwaterrunoff. It also used Stratacell technology fromCitygreen to help filter stormwater runoff andenhance tree growth.Sustainability Strategy: Creating the Canberra of the Future 2019–2020
GINNINDERRY – A GREENSTAR COMMUNITYGinninderry has achieved a 6 star Green Star –Communities rating, the highest rating possible underthe Green Building Council of Australia’s nationalrating tool. This internationally recognised certificationdemonstrates excellence in sustainability and is basedon assessment of planning, design and constructionacross the categories of governance, liveability,economic prosperity, environment, design andinnovation.Located in West Belconnen, Ginninderry is a jointventure between the ACT and Riverview Developments(ACT) Pty Ltd, Reid & Stevens Pty Ltd and CorkhillBros Pty Ltd. Some of the initiatives that have beenincorporated into this development include: introducing the Spark Program for training andemployment p roviding funding to restore the BelconnenFarmhouse and to remediate Ginninderry Falls p lanning a commuter cycle path on the mainboulevard establishing education and information programsabout Aboriginal heritage planning community gardens and introducingedible verges, orchards and a herb garden providing wi-fi and encouraging work hubenvironments incorporating a network of bioretention swales,wetlands and ponds and using stormwater forirrigation increasing water tank requirements for some blocks trialling an all-electric greenfield developmentand requiring solar panels and energy demandmanagement systems for all homes promoting flexi-living options to encouragesustainable and affordable housing s etting aside more than a third of the land as aconservation corridor undergoing independent design review undertaking extensive community engagementCONNECTING COMMUNITIESAND IMPROVING WATERQUALITY AT CAMPBELL 5Campbell 5 is a major mixed use development onConstitution Avenue to the east of Anzac Parade.A significant amount of the site was retained asopen space with an extensive network of pathsfor pedestrians and cyclists and the new HassettPark including grassed terraces, kid’s play spacesand exercise equipment. In the open space area, adetention basin and a central grassed swale havealso been included. This living infrastructure providesspace for the community to gather and interact,encourages active living, will provide a cooling effectduring warmer weather and filters stormwater toimprove the quality of water entering Lake BurleyGriffin. The filtered stormwater is also captured in alarge underground storage tank (under the bridge)and is used to irrigate Hassett Park.7
