Delfin Lend Lease is currently in the masterplanning and approvals phase for the Rocky Springs project, a residential development, which is located 15km south east of the Townsville CBD and on completion will house over 36,000 people. As part of the Townsville: Queensland Solar City project, the Rocky Springs development, once operating, will showcase a total of 150 solar powered, energy efficient homes across a five-year period that will demonstrate:

• the use of in-house displays and smart meters, and other interactive measures to manage electricity use sustainably;
• the benefit of combining these measures with solar PV systems; and
• homes built to the present building code to act as a control group for baseline comparison against the energy efficient dwellings.

Data from the different dwellings’ energy use will be used to help work towards ‘zero emission’ homes, which are attractive to, and within the reach of home buyers.
