The North Wilton precinct – the future of communities
Over the next 25 years Landcom will work to deliver an affordable, sustainable and resilient precinct at North Wilton comprising around 5,600 homes including 10% affordable housing.
The North Wilton precinct of 871ha includes approximately 360ha of Environmental Conservation Area and around 52ha of high-quality open space – offering us a perfect canvas to demonstrate the delivery of our sustainability ambitions.
Our project aims to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating, certified by the Green Building Council of Australia. This means that the community is designed to enhance liveability, demonstrate excellence in the built form, enable local employment opportunities, promote improved biodiversity, water and waste outcomes, with fully electrified homes using renewable energy.
Engaging with the local community is part of our approach. When the local Community Reference Group at North Wilton told us they wanted to hear more about infrastructure planning and delivery we initiated a combined development infrastructure update letter-box drop in collaboration with all the developers and council.
During COVID-19 we embraced online and in-person visioning to explore ideas and opportunities with the community. Wilton locals told us what they liked about Wilton and what they wanted us to deliver. This feedback is helping us to refine the project vision and inform our planning. Future and ongoing engagement with the local community, including the local Aboriginal community and Local Council officers will also inform our plans at North Wilton.
