Issue 15202 SYDNEY C entral Park hopes to be the Sydney’s most sustainable urban community. Each building within Central Park will achieve minimum a 5 green star rating (Green Building Council of Australia rating system). It will house its own central thermal plant and tri-generation power station, using low-emission gas to produce electricity; it will have its own water recycling factory collecting rain water, and grey water and black water for treatment and re-use in laundries, toilets and gardens. The project has committed to reducing private vehicle usage, with a 40-car share service located within the precinct. 11
