"Congratulations to the City of Mandurah partners in this great achievement - Mirvac Fini, Ultimate Homes, Solar Dwellings and Sustainable Consulting who worked so hard together to bring this about. It has been built to show that we can do a lot to help the environment and still live in a house that the average home builder can afford.”
Mandurah Mayor, Paddi Creevey

Whilst the City has managed and financed the project, the finished home is the result of a collaboration between WA businesses that are truly committed to a sustainable future for the Mandurah community:

Partner Responsibilites
The City of Mandurah Management, finance & education
Mirvac Fini Land & marketing
Solar Dwellings Design & training
Ultimate Homes Build
Sustainable Consulting Project management

The overall aim shared by all the partners is to encourage more ecologically responsible consumption through showcasing how everyone can make changes – both small and large – to maximise the efficiency of their home.
