Sustainability at Yarra’s Edge

All commercial development in Docklands is required to meet minimum performance standards according to the Melbourne Docklands Ecologically Sustainable Development Guide (ESD).  The ESD Guide was the first operational Green Building Rating tool in Australia and was a key reference tool in the development of Australia’s Green Star program by the Green Building Council of Australia.

At Yarra’s Edge, Mirvac’s commitment is evident.  Right from the start of this award-winning development, the environment – how it was both protected and enhanced - was paramount.   The towers - from the materials used in construction to energy, water and waste efficiency – have been designed to exist in harmony with this spectacular habitat.

Point Park is Yarra’s Edge’s own environmentally sustainable parkland with rain gardens and water storage cells cleverly concealed within the design. Water tanks contribute around 40% of the total park’s irrigation needs whilst rain gardens treat storm water minimizing environmental impact.
