Background:
Banksia Place is located at the end of Manna Lane within the Blue Mount Rise Estate. Conceived in 2003, Blue Mount Rise required energy efficient home design (minimum 6 star energy rating) and harvesting of rainwater to reduce reliance on reticulated, local spring fed water supplies.
Leading Sustainability Architects, Sunpower Design, created the Blue Mount Rise Design Guidelines in 2004 to guide original purchasers of land to achieve a beautiful, energy efficient, passive solar home.
Most people today appreciate that designing an energy efficient home that uses less water makes economic sense as well as being more sustainable.
