design a habitat rich in biodiversity potential, while meeting regional

and site-specific stormwater drainage requirements.

Formerly a polluted water body, with typically degraded flora

and fauna, the pond has been subjected to an extensive water and

landscaping maintenance programme, which included the removal

of more than 5 000 m

of polluted soil. The programme is already

showing signs of success as the pond teems with frogs, fish and

insects, and the birdlife is steadily returning.

Sustainable elements

“Because water is at the heart of this development, it is also a key

element of the sustainability features. Rooftop water tanks have

been installed on every block to supplement the fresh water supply,

while water-efficient sanitary systems have been used throughout.
