2. Sustainability
What is Sustainability?
Sustainability means to make something sustained, supported,
upheld, or confirmed for a long time. It also means to not being
harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources.
Sustainability is important part of the building process and must be
considered.

3. Sustainable design principles
We are using solar panels in the Discovery centre and
most of the buildings located in Wentworth point will
have solar panels as well. During the building of
Wentworth point we will also try to limit the amount of
resources we use.
4. Why is sustainability important when
designing Wentworth Point?
Sustainability is an important factor to consider in the
redevelopment of Wentworth point. To make Wentworth
point sustainable we must make sure that Wentworth point
will last for as long as possible for the people who will
come and visit Wentworth point and live here. Also it is
important to try to reduce the amount of resources we use
during the redevelopment of Wentworth point.
5. The world we live in has a limited amount of
resources which can only be used once and then
thrown away. It is important to not use more
resources that we actually need so that these limited
resources can be used for a long time and so that
the future generations may also use these resources.
