Montario Quarter recognised as a world leader in sustainability

The City has worked closely with Land Corp in developing Montario Quarter and the northern and central parklands are now open!

Montario Quarter is the perfect place for entertaining, fitness, relaxing, art and fun, and high quality, carefully designed parks and public open spaces will be a key feature as this precinct develops.

The Green Building Council Australia (GBCA) has recognised Montario Quarter as being among the world's leading sustainable developments, through accreditation as a 6-Star Green Star Community.

Receiving GBCA's highest precinct sustainability rating, Montario Quarter was acknowledged for key sustainability elements including:

• More than 25% of the site retained as public open space
• Water-wise landscaping and re-vegetation of the retained bushland using local native species
• Early community engagement to identify local values for the retention of key heritage/environmental features
• Improved building energy and water use performance through sustainable building Design Guidelines
• Encouraging access to local-sourced fresh food, with requirements on developers to install a community garden as part of the development
