Your home among the gum trees

Demonstrating how new and old can work together, this sustainable land development in WA’s South West incorporates an array of large marri, jarrah and peppermint trees that grew in the former paddocks. The largest marri is eye-catching and beautiful. Landscape architect, Bill James considers it one of the finest specimens in its class and, as a result, a whole park and surrounding residential lots were actually designed around it. The marri tree is now a significant feature of the subdivision and has already become a local landmark.

Rapids Landing does more for sustainable living

Minimising any environmental footprint is critical and through good planning and benchmark initiatives, the Rapids Landing sustainable development in Margaret River is one of the most ecologically pro-active in the State.

Its innovative use of best practice management and sustainable design features have set new standards for residential living and set an example for the industry in Australia.

Water saving initiatives

The Rapids Landing sustainable development in Margaret River is one of few residential subdivisions to introduce mandatory water tanks to every home, and is the first in Australia to introduce a developer-paid rebate system.

While every home must have a 2500 litre water tank installed, if the tank is increased to a capacity of 4500 litres and above, and is connected to the home to the satisfaction of the developer, residents will receive an additional $2,000, awarded in addition to any Government incentive.
