The win was announced at the prestigious 2025 HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards announced today in Sydney.
The development delivers energy-efficient, all-electric living without compromising comfort or performance.
Each home is designed for long-term liveability, featuring passive solar orientation, thermally broken double glazing, airtight wraps, and high-performance insulation. Rooftop solar, heat pump hot water, and EV readiness support net-zero energy goals, while low-carbon materials like fly ash concrete and FSC-certified timber reduce embodied emissions.
Smart zoning, rainwater reuse, mature landscaping, and breathable building wraps elevate comfort and resilience. Backed by life cycle analysis and a NatHERS 8-star rating, the homes are built on data, not guesswork.
HIA GreenSmart Australian Multi Dwelling Development is partnered by Toyota for Business.
