URPS has prepared ESD reports ESD Reports for varied development including a 14 storey hotel at 15-19 Halifax Street and 86 apartments/townhouses at Dock One North.
Assessment authorities have looked favourably on these reports which demonstrate how proposed development will deliver more sustainable outcomes. URPS added value in these by:
- Using a strong planning lens to directly identify how ESD features address Planning & Design Code policies – we make the direct link so that assessment officers don’t have to.
- Using graphics to clearly identify the ESD features of the development, making for an easy and engaging read.
- Closely tying ESD reports into broader development applications to strengthen their pitch and increase likelihood of planning approval.
