Sustainable Residential Subdivision in the Tropics - Thuringowa Sustainable Village

Adopting a completely new model for accelerating sustainable housing and urban development outcomes, the first
part of the Thuringowa Sustainable Village Project involved an extensive industry consultation and capacity building program.
Capturing the collective ideas and knowledge of over 100 industry representatives who were involved in 55
coordinated focus group discussions, Breakthrough Ideas for Sustainable Urban Development in North Queensland
documents a wealth of intellectual property that has been contributed with the common desire that sustainability
principles be increasingly incorporated into housing and urban development in the region.

The Stage 1 of the project commenced in 2007 with the support of the Queensland Department of Public Works Smart and Sustainable Homes program. We understand that Stage 2 is not yet complete.
