Sustainability is embedded in the project from the outset. Kindira has achieved EnviroDevelopment certification across all six elements — ecosystems, waste, energy, materials, water and community — and has achieved EnviroDevelopment Excellence recognition. The certification reflects Mirvac’s commitment to delivering a community that goes beyond compliance and creates measurable environmental and social outcomes.
A defining feature of Kindira is the retention and rehabilitation of more than 400 hectares of green space, including conservation areas and public parkland. This approach protects local biodiversity, supports habitat corridors and helps integrate the natural landscape into everyday community life. Environmental outcomes are further supported through stormwater management, weed control, native planting, environmental offsets and the use of nest boxes and habitat enhancements.
Kindira also prioritises resource efficiency and responsible construction. More than 80 per cent of construction and land-clearing materials are targeted to be recycled or reused, with green waste mulched for landscaping. Energy-efficient living is encouraged through design guidelines that promote passive design, efficient appliances and improved solar orientation. Water-sensitive design, drought-tolerant landscaping and efficient fixtures help reduce potable water demand and support long-term landscape resilience.
Community and cultural respect are central to the project vision. Mirvac’s approach includes early community engagement and an ongoing community development focus, helping to shape the project around local needs, future resident expectations and long-term social connection. This is supported by engagement with Traditional Owners through cultural heritage management processes, on-site surveys and education, with cultural values informing how the site is understood and managed. The masterplan will support diverse housing, accessible parks, active transport networks and inclusive public spaces, helping residents feel connected from the earliest stages of the community.
For Mirvac, EnviroDevelopment certification provides independent recognition of Kindira’s sustainability ambitions and reinforces the project’s long-term purpose: to create a resilient, connected and environmentally responsible community that leaves a positive legacy for future generations.
