WHAT WE PROVIDED
The Jordan Springs Community Resource Hub is one of the most sustainable community buildings, the first public building to be constructed using cross-laminated timber (CLT) in NSW. A geothermal heating and cooling system reduced CO2 emissions for air conditioners by 50 per cent, and the rooftop photovoltaic array offsets a significant amount of the building’s lighting energy requirement, saving significant volumes of carbon dioxide emissions.
Benaiah was engaged to provide development management and project management services of the Jordan Springs Community Resource Hub development by lendlease communities. We successfully navigated the approval and development framework to deliver this important piece of community infrastructure.
We provided various services throughout the various stages of the open space infrastructure works including
