Water

Queen’s Wharf Brisbane uses conservation and sustainable management of site water through the application of Water Sensitive Urban Design and water management strategies. This includes the use of greywater and rainwater wherever possible.

Water sensitive urban design features have been applied to create an ecologically beneficial urban water system. This includes management of stormwater to ensure that water leaving the site does not negatively impact the water quality of the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay (including a reduction in gross pollutants from stormwater discharge).

Energy Efficiency

Queen’s Wharf Brisbane will work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sources.

Passive building design within the precinct and material selection helps reduce energy consumption.
