Construction at the North Wright Sustainable Precinct has been very productive! This new development is changing how people live in Canberra by focusing on energy-efficient, comfortable, and eco-friendly homes. Our Showcase Homes are now open for visits.

Construction Updates

  • Showcase Homes complete: The Showcase Homes were finished almost 6 months early. These homes show off all the impressive sustainable features and designs. You can visit them from 10am to 2pm, Thursday to Sunday, on Ian Mudie Lane, Wright. Parking is on Thwaites Crescent.
  • The south side of the precinct: Joinery (cabinets and fittings) is being installed, tiling is almost done, and eco-friendly Marmoleum flooring is being laid. Plumbing and electrical work are also finished.
  • The north side of the precinct: Carpentry work is ongoing, tiling is nearly done, and painting inside the homes is happening now.
  • Landscaping: Work is continuing across the whole area with courtyard walls, paving, and new plants. Shared spaces like picnic and play areas are also being developed quickly.

Sustainable Building Practices

  • Eco-Friendly Materials: The use of Marmoleum flooring (eco-friendly material) and energy-efficient fixtures are key features in this stage of construction. It's great to see the development of future shared spaces and gardens that will improve community living and help the environmental sustainability of this project.
