The development will activate the north-western entry into Latitude 32 and combined with the Flinders Precinct, will ensure an ongoing supply of industrial opportunities in Perth’s premier industrial corridor.

Ecosystem: Orion manages all stormwater on-site, preventing any discharge into other catchments or wetlands. Estate Design Guidelines ensures the prevention of pollutants from leaching into the water table and conservation areas. Native plant species are integrated into streetscapes to reduce the urban heat island effect and maintain biodiversity corridors. Seedlings propagated from seeds collected from the local area have been used in the landscaping,

Waste: Orion reused vegetation cleared from the land as mulch on-site and repurposed clearing material from the quarry area. A comprehensive recycling system was placed for civil works materials, including metal, PVC, concrete, and concrete with steel. Furthermore, concrete is recycled into base course pavement products. New proponents are required to incorporate waste management into their designs.

Energy: Energy efficiency is achieved by mandating efficient building orientation, external shading devices, skylights and Solar PV arrays through the Estate Design Guidelines. The measures outlined in the Estate Design Guidelines lead to a 20% total greenhouse gas emissions reduction over BAU.

Materials: Roads within the estate incorporated site-won limestone subbase, recycled road base, and blending of recycled concrete and asphalt. Shell waste and topsoil material are blended and reused, and specified piping is procured from environmentally responsible sources.

Water: Orion includes waterwise landscaping, the use of bio-retention basins, and the installation of rainwater tanks for toilet flushing and irrigation systems for private lots. Water-efficient fixtures and appliances are mandated.

Community: Orion Industrial Park will generate job opportunities and support local businesses. The drainage basin has been redesigned to incorporate public amenities for local users.

The site benefits from recent and significant transport infrastructure investment to the Logan Motorway which provides direct access to major transport corridors within 20km of the Brisbane CBD. The 24 new industrial lots are located on a portion of the ~69ha site, of which ~46ha has been rehabilitated and shall be dedicated as Environmental Protection Area, including newly constructed fauna habitat.

Where engineering and authority standards have allowed, recycled products (e.g. pavement gravels, concrete products, topsoil) have been implemented in subdivision construction which represented a significant volume of material being beneficially reused. The same approach will be taken for DAs approved to date for future warehouses, which have been sustainably developed to ensure provision for water and solar energy harvesting as well as soft landscape features with no permanent irrigation requirements.

Built form development by land purchasers within the newly created estate will be governed by Design Guidelines which reflect the objectives of EnviroDevelopment. These enable end users to select design solutions to complement those already integrated into the subdivision, in order to ensure that overall objectives and compliance are achieved.

EnviroDevelopment’s certification system provides an independent verification of a development’s sustainability performance. NGBP’s recognition under this scheme, which includes Ecosystems, Waste, Energy, Materials, Water, and Community, showcases its commitment to achieve unparalleled sustainability outcomes. This prestigious certification ensures NGBP’s promise to continue to drive efficiencies and sustainable results.

Spanning over 70 hectares, NGBP is meticulously master-planned for future-focused businesses. NGBP’s location is ideally suited for logistics operators and advanced manufacturers, making it an attractive proposition for potential tenants and owner-occupiers. Its vision is clear: to pave the way for future-oriented businesses in a sustainable precinct.
