Psaros Teams Up With CCWA To Make Perth More Sustainable

P

A partnership has formed between Western Australia’s Environment Group and urban property developer

Psaros to encourage sustainable apartment development in Perth City.

“Psaros are leading the way in Perth with their sustainable apartment developments so it makes sense that we work with them to promote sustainable urban living as an affordable, convenient and environmentally-­‐friendly choice for Western Australians," said Conservation Council Director Piers Verstegen.

“For every person who chooses a sustainable apartment, less energy is used, less waste is created, less natural bushland is destroyed and more trips are taken by public transport.”

As the first stage of the partnership,

The Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) and Psaros have jointly commissioned market research by Ipsos to help understand community attitudes towards sustainable apartment- style living and the future of Perth city.

“We have noticed an increase in consumer awareness of the benefits of our eco-friendly apartments, but we need to understand the level of public support beyond just the apartment buyers," said Chiara Pacifici, Head of Sustainability.

“The research will also test some old assumptions such as the preference for detached suburban homes on large blocks, and the idea that urban sprawl provides more affordable housing,” said Mr Verstegen.

“We hope that the CCWA-PSAROS partnership and the research we have commissioned will be the first step in building a powerful coalition of community and business to transform the City of Perth. Over the coming months we will be approaching other potential partners to join this exciting initiative.”

Apartments will have as a standard feature, solar power generation, solar hot water and electric car recharge stations.
