The idea behind The Green is to provide affordable, quality housing. The Green operates under The Manufactured homes Act. Residents purchase their home, but not the land. By entering into a site agreement, residents have a perpetual lease over the land which ensures security of tenure. By generating power with solar panels and collecting rainwater, each house becomes self sufficient. There are no rates or water bills and should have a very minimal electricity bill.
The Green provides seniors with a unique opportunity to live in a vibrant community offering security, independence and safety. There is also the added advantage of owning an environmentally responsible home at a very affordable price. This means big savings in the annual running cost of your home and a much healthier environment for you and future generations.
This unique design of home ensures that you should never require air conditioning! Savings of up to $1500 per year in the running costs of the home (power, water, sewage). Residents generate their own power from the solar Photovoltaic system and many receive a credit each month from the energy provider, Energex. The home also collects it’s own rainwater and feature drought tolerant, edible and productive landscaping. The Green will prevent over 7 million litres of storm water and 50kgs on Nitrogen and Phosphorous from entering local waterways each year!
The Green is a relatively small community focusing on socially and environmentally responsible activities and practices. With recycling and waste management programs, The Green is way ahead of its time.
There is bush rock swimming pool with a waterfall feature as well as ample sitting areas for pool side get-togethers. A landscaped lagoon surrounded by walking tracks and native grasses hold both fish and yabbies and provides a home for native birds and ducks. A community vegetable garden provides the ideal spot for keen gardeners and the community chickens provide eggs as well as a hand drop off point for food scraps.
There are a number of convenient facilities in the area such as shopping centres, swimming pools, library, gym, churches and golf clubs. Public transport is at the front door with buses leaving every half hour. There is a Brisbane express bus stop within 300 metres of The Green.
The homes are constructed with steel frame and sub floor. They are raised off the ground to allow the cool air to circulate and travel up through the walls of the house. This part of a unique ventilation system which keeps the house extremely cool during the summer as well as warm in the winter. The homes are made from renewable and resource efficient materials and the use of toxic materials have been minimized. Solid timber doors, stainless steel door handles and metal bathroom fittings are all standard inclusions. In addition all energy and water efficient appliances are included in the home. Inside, the home feature polished timber floors, louver windows for maximum air flow and cross ventilation and high ceilings. The bathroom features AAAA rated water fittings and tap ware and highly water efficient toilets and flow restrictors. Gas Hot water and all cooking is gas.
The home is universally designed. This means that the home has been planned to age with the occupants and provide flexibility for various stages of the resident’s lives. For instance, the doors and hallways are extra wide and there are no hobs on the showers. This allows for easy access for people in wheelchairs and walking frames. In addition, there are no thoroughfare in the kitchen, stairs can be bolted off and replaced with ramps and the walls are made from 12mm ply which is much stronger than traditional plasterboard. Timber walls means grab rails can be added on any wall in the home. The home also features good visibility to ensure that the residents can see approaching visitors.
The community is fully secured and has a gated security system. Those on Centrelink payments may be entitled to benefits such as rental assistance on the site fees.
