Project description

There is a truly massive urban development taking place in Sydney right now. Lend Lease�s $6bn, 7.5 hectare Barangaroo South project situated on the lip of the harbour and western edge of the CBD promises to be the first large scale, carbon neutral precinct in Australia. Arabella Douglas is overseeing the social sustainability of the development. That�s a big job given it includes three commercial towers as well as residential and retail areas. She emphasises that her role is to ensure the precinct is a place for all of Sydney to enjoy. �My role is to influence all aspects of the development to create sustainable social value through social inclusion and collaboration� she says. �That includes employment diversity and integration as well as innovative green technologies incorporated in construction.�
