Sustainability
Tannum Blue has been accredited with the Urban Development Institute of Australia’s, Enviro Development accreditation. This accreditation recognises Tannum Blue as being a 6-leaf development – the highest achievable award in environmental sustainablitiy.
Specifically, the EnviroDevelopment accreditation process is separated into 6 key elements, including ecosystems, waste, energy, materials, water and community.
Tannum Blue is accredited in each of these areas:
 | Improved water use through water efficiency mechanisms and / or source substitution such as rainwater and stormwater harvesting. |
 | Reduced production of greenhouse gases and reduced use of fossil fuels. This is achieved through greater efficiencies in energy usage and use of renewable and non-polluting energy sources such as solar power. |
 | Protected and enhanced health and sustainability of natural systems and the encouragement of native biodiversity and rehabilitation of degraded sites. |
 | Vibrant, cohesive, sustainable communities with good community design; the provision of community facilities and networks; safe, accessible housing and options for the reduced use of private motor vehicles. |
 | Environmentally responsible material usage including reuse of materials, recycled materials and consideration of the life cycle environmental costs of materials. |
 | Comprehensive waste management procedures and practices to reduce the amount of waste to landfill. |
