introduction3.12.16_REV
Permaculture is a creative approach to sustainable agriculture that focuses on designing biodiverse systems that are resilient and self-reliant. It emphasizes observing natural patterns and replicating them, such as having different plant varieties that support each other and minimize waste. The principles of permaculture can be applied to bring food production into cities and make people less reliant on industrial agriculture while supporting local economies and developing a sense of community.
Developing the urban circular water economy
Around the world, there is a transition towards the ‘circular economy’ that focuses on the 3Rs of reducing material
consumption, reusing materials, and recovering materials from waste. In the context of urban water resources management, a variety of cities and their respective water utilities are implementing circular economy concepts that promote the reduction of water consumption, reuse of water, and recovery of materials from wastewater.
Water Management for Buildings
Water is a critical natural resource and an essential part of the planet’s ecosystem. As a resource within the built environment, it is also notoriously ill-managed.
But, getting wise on water is essential to good business practice and space management - it is often a high and unseen cost. Drawing from a range of sector examples, Julie’s Bicycle will help you to understand different monitoring options as well as a whole host of actions for reduction – from behavioural to technical interventions.

- 6. Why is being sustainable so important? To be sustainable means that something is able to continue for an extended period of time without interruption. This is precisely what we aim to do here at Wentworth Point. Sustainability is very important, especially in the design process. When constructing any development, sustainability must be considered. To be sustainable during designing a development you must: • Minimal impact on environment • Recyclable, reusable, energy efficient, reduce waste and water consumption • Be sustainable in the long term.
- 7. Aspects of Sustainable Design 1. Living futures has incorporated many different aspects into our designs during the design process. We have considered the need for many things, these being: • Native Plants; we have included native plants to promote the reintroduction of indigenous species to the area. • Solar Panels; we are powering all lights and appliances by solar power, this helps to educate to educate the community about renewable energy sources and the importance of ensuring that we have a power source that is clean and can continue to provide energy even if we run out of fossil fuels • Rain Water Tanks; rain water is collected in tanks and stored for use for toilets, taps and any water based feature that we have in our buildings. This is preventing the wastage of clean, potable water on functions that could otherwise be done by recycled water.
- 8. Sustainability and how we have incorporated it By the Environmental Scientific definition, sustainability is the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources. Living Futures has taken this very important factor into consideration during the redevelopment of Wentworth Point in the following ways: • We have ensured that all products that are used have the most minimal impact on the environment possible, through using recycled and recyclable materials • We have also ensured that all lights used are energy efficient and that all water that is not used for drinking is recycled or collected in rain water tanks • We have used all of the sustainable design principles in redevelopment of this project • To find out more about sustainable design principles, click here
