Preserving by design

Only 40 hectares of the 120 hectare site is being developed. The remaining 80 hectares are being protected and rehabilitated.
The wetlands are man-made, created by sand and mining operations after World War II, and have largely remained untouched since the 1990s.
No pathway has been placed through the Wallum Froglet's habitat to ensure its future.
Non-native trees have been cleared, leaving natural bush and regrowth to encourage the return of native wildlife.
Each allotment in the high quality, clean, green industrial estate has a rainwater runoff facility (provided by Logan City Council as part of standard services).
All buildings are being designed to maximise environmental sustainability.
Energy efficiencies are required in all development designs to minimise the amount of electricity required.
Each allotment can potentially have future access to recycled water, to be used for landscaping and industrial use.
