Sustainable homesEnergy efficient design When you purchase land at The Cape, build your home from one of our 10 unique designs, each featuring 7.5-star energy efficient homes with highly efficient lights and appliances. Alternatively you can choose to customise your own based on our design guidelines. Some of the best builders and designers in Australia are on hand to help you build at The Cape Precious water The use of rainwater will increase the availability of clean, fresh water in our community. In addition to mains water, all houses will feature at least 10,000 litres of rainwater storage for use in gardens and toilets, helping to create year-round water security. Excess stormwater will be redirected to collection ponds and filtered back through vegetation into groundwater and natural wetlands. Clean energy Each house at The Cape will have a minimum of 2.5 kilowatts of solar energy. Powered by the sun, the community will be capable of creating an annual surplus of clean energy. Electric vehicle charge points are also available for residents who want them. Food gardens As a resident at The Cape, you will have the opportunity to grow your own produce in our specially designed gardens if you choose. The café at The Cape’s Community Centre will also offer our residents delicious meals made from the freshest, locally grown produce.

There will also be a conference facility with a community centre, café and seminar space. Protecting natural habitats A haven for nature lovers, The Cape is designed to coexist with natural Coastal Heathland and Banksia Woodland habitats. Along with local wildflower species, these habitats provide home to native wildlife such as echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos and countless bird species. |
