CASE STUDY:
Recycled materials
Products and materials made from environmentally sustainable products or recycled goods are used across a range of Council projects.
» The new Council office located at 311 Glenferrie Road features carpets made out of recycled materials, a machine that turns food waste into compost and the capture of rainwater which is then used to flush the toilets and irrigate the green wall.
» Solar lights have been installed in Carters Avenue Reserve providing necessary lighting for those using the park link at night. » Surrey Park incorporates environmentally sensitive design features, including the use of recycled timber, drought tolerant plantings of an array of native shrubs and trees and solar powered children’s play area.
» The Yarra River Biodiversity Linkages Project incorporates recycled timber and bluestone as key design features. » Council ‘closes the loop’ on our urban forest through mulching branches and logs to reuse in Council’s parks and gardens.
