Sustainability and Social Engagement at The Fabric

This Changes Everything is Mirvac’s sustainability strategy. We have set ambitious targets across our projects, and we are committed to giving back to our communities and creating enriched neighbourhoods that make people feel safe, happy and connected.

With a people-first approach, we are focused on positively impacting the communities in and around our developments. We take seriously the fact that lives are shaped by the places we create, and regularly pause to ask ourselves what kind of legacy we hope to leave. As part of This Changes Everything, Mirvac is striving to be a force for good through its approach to both social and environmental issues.

This is why at The Fabric, we have chosen to launch a variety of initiatives for our local and broader community. Achieving a 7-star NatHERS rating across all townhomes, supporting Homes for Homes, and partnering with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation are just a few of the commitments we plan to deliver, creating a socially connected and sustainable urban village.

Future Ready Living

Mirvac is committed to leaving a positive legacy at The Fabric and continues to focus on raising the bar when it comes to environmental and social sustainability. With a people-first approach, we are focused on positively impacting the communities in and around our developments.

Comfortable and Healthy 7-Star Living

Smart design layouts take advantage of optimum solar orientation and ensure cross ventilation and natural light into your home is maximised. Coupled with high performance double glazing to all windows and doors, additional sealing of the building envelope and upgraded insulation, all homes achieve a minimum 7-star NatHERS energy rating, meaning your home is more comfortable to live in.

By designing homes to maximise cross ventilation and natural light, indoor air quality is improved, ensuring homes at The Fabric are as healthy as they can be. High quality low VOC and low embodied energy materials have been selected with longevity in mind. Residents can be confident their home is contributing to lower emissions and a more sustainable future.

Low Cost of Living

Townhomes at The Fabric are fully-electric and are designed to generate enough renewable energy to offset the average household energy usage over a year. The sustainability features have been selected with a focus on reducing energy use and generating renewable energy, both of which assist in reducing the cost of energy bills.

Future Proofing & Innovation

The inclusion of solar panels and ability to connect to battery storage for all townhomes means you are less reliant on the electricity grid to keep your home running well into the future. Added features such as smart energy monitoring and provision for electric vehicle charge points in all garages, make it easy to adapt to ever-changing needs and new technologies.

Homes for Homes

As part of our dedication to leaving a positive legacy from the communities we create, Mirvac has partnered with Homes For Homes. An innovative not-for-profit initiative led by social enterprise, The Big Issue, Homes for Homes creates new funds to increase the supply of social and affordable housing to help house homeless and disadvantaged Australians.

Recognising the intrinsic value that having shelter brings, in the physical sense and as a sense of belonging and wellbeing, Mirvac has committed to 0.1% of the sale of every townhome at The Fabric going toward increasing the supply of social and affordable homes in Victoria.

Innovative Water Reuse Strategy

Urbanisation can lead to an increase in water supply demand, wastewater generated, stormwater runoff and a subsequent increase in pollutant wash-off. At The Fabric, we are committed to help combat these effects through an innovative water collection and reuse strategy. Passive Irrigation - Street trees within The Fabric will be irrigated by stormwater runoff. This will assist in reducing the use of drinking water for irrigation across multiple green spaces throughout the community. Innovative Rainwater Harvesting System - Rain water from townhome rooftops will be captured and diverted to several tanks underneath the centrally located Patchwork Park. Here the rainwater is stored and then released to irrigate parks and green space.
