Eternity in West Footscray sets a new standard for environmental, social and economic sustainability. The parkland surround enables recreation and social connectedness.

Between the buildings and Stony Creek, on the south side of the buildings, the landscape has been revegetated with indigenous species, a process that will continue over the next ten years, eventually replacing the 70 year old willows that currently line the creek, and returning it to a natural state.

The development also includes a northern parkland setting, a northern deck with vegetable boxes for residents and a large communal roof top garden deck.

The building incorporates passive environmental design principles such as solar power and hot water, individual metering and rainwater harvesting, all of which help to lower operating costs. Materials include a high level of recycled content.

Local suppliers were used wherever possible to reduce the carbon miles of the construction. External finishes are designed for low maintenance, and selected for quality, durability and longevity. At least 80% of the construction was sourced from local suppliers, generating direct and indirect employment for hundreds of people. 

Eternity has been built with eternity in mind, using recycled materials, and incorporates 21st Century technologies to harness the power of the sun, the rain and the earth. These apartments are living proof that, for us, sustainability isn’t just a word. It’s a commitment.
