Sustainability

Caring for the environment is a priority in the development of Carlingford, as it is in all Cedar Woods developments. Water sensitive urban design sees water run-off within the estate treated in a cleverly designed wetland system and then released into local waterways, helping to maintain and improve important habitats.

Natural stony knolls have been incorporated into protected reserves and habitat links preserved to ensure the Growling Grass Frog - listed on the endangered species list in Victoria - can follow its natural pathway through the area.

Landscaping and gardens are designed to be waterwise and well suited to local conditions, while the Design Standards require homes to incorporate passive solar design to capture winter sun and provide protection from it in summer. Sustainable living also caters for people – with links to bike trails that connect to regional parks and even the city, and parks and reserves within Carlingford for you to relax, play with the kids, walk the dog or kick a footy.
