INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY GARDEN

A SPECIALLY DESIGNED COMMUNITY GARDEN AT THE CAPE PROVIDES QUALITY, ORGANIC PRODUCE FOR IT'S RESIDENTS, WHILE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXERCISE, SOCIALISING AND A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

The Cape is proud to feature a specially designed and thriving community garden which will expand as the development progresses,  to cover a total area of 5000sqm, therefore it will become one of the largest urban food gardens in Victoria.

Residents enjoy top quality organic produce and lower food bills, as well as health and social benefits while working their green thumbs.  

​There raised garden beds will soon be complimented by a greenhouse, composting areas, worm farms, tool storage, public art, an orchard and poultry.
​
One of the garden’s most innovative features is its rainwater harvesting scheme
​

Homes in The Cape which are nearby to the community garden are plumbed to capture rainwater runoff which is then used to water the garden beds. The garden will also feature a recently-developed, vertical wicking garden bed design.


At the heart of the garden is the water tank, which will include a viewing platform with wheelchair access, offering elevated panoramic views of the garden, wetlands and the coast. The water harvesting scheme will generate an estimated 3.2 million litres of water for use in the garden, or 3.2 Olympic-sized pools.

​The Cape is very excited about the garden and rainwater harvesting project, which we hope will inspire similar endeavours in other cities and towns.

DUNE  1

BY ADAPT DESIGN GROUP

The design brief behind Dune 1 was to create an extremely energy efficient dwelling whilst keeping construction costs low.

​The home showcases all the fundamentals of best practice energy efficient design and construction – including good orientation, quality insulation, crossflow ventilation, double glazing, thermal mass and shading.
​
The result was this 8.7 star rated home featuring a 8 kw photovoltaic system including battery storage. The combination of these sustainability, energy efficiency and onsite clean energy generation elements will ensure this home is “energy positive” – generating a surplus of clean energy on an annual basis, with the potential for a net return of over five hundred dollars per annum for surplus power generated.
