Leaving a legacy
The aim of Frasers Property Australia is that the tentacles of Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre reach further than retail. Discussions with other organisations, Government bodies and built environment stakeholders have happened, and more will happen in the future.
Creators and owners of alternative retail environments, such as university campuses, have shown an interest in the project. For tenants, the collaboration enjoyed in taking this journey has highlighted the broader recognition and desire amongst businesses to create and occupy more comfortable, sustainable places.
It’s clear that tenants and customers are increasingly demanding better environmental performance and an elevated sense of social responsibility from developers. But beyond Frasers Property, there is a bigger lesson for Australia’s building industry. Australian building codes must catch up to community expectations regarding sustainability, the environmental impact of our buildings and the health and wellbeing of building industry workers and the people who inhabit our buildings.
More should be expected from the industry and Burwood Brickworks Shopping Centre demonstrates that where there is the will, we can do better.
