Sustainability The design of Dainfern Square is driven by a sustainable ethos which carries throughout the workings of the centre . With the public spaces of the centre open to the environment , there is less internal space requiring air-conditioning and artificial lighting which keeps energy usage low .

The landscaping makes use of indigenous plants which require less watering . The centre is fully accessible with level access throughout and conveniently located lifts .
