BUILT ENVIRONMENT: Lochiel Park ecologically sustainable village

The South Australian Government announced the development of Lochiel Park in 2004 with a clear objective of building ecologically sustainable homes within a natural bush and parkland setting, linking directly with the River Torrens Linear Park. Premier Mike Rann declared Lochiel Park would become an exemplar of the State Government's commitment to sustainable living. "I want South Australia to become the world leader in a new green approach to the way we all live. The Lochiel Park development will become the nation's model "Green Village" incorporating Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) principles."
