Mills Park Master plan

Community facility

Community facility 6 Star Green StarThe City of Gosnells successfully achieved a 6 Star Green Star - Public Building, Design version1 - rating from the Green Building Council of Australia for the Mills Park Redevelopment Project, representing World Leadership in environmentally sustainable design (ESD). The City is the first local government in Australia to achieve a 6 Star rating Public Building v1 rating. The rating was achieved on Round One Submission, a feat rarely accomplished, with most submissions requiring two rounds of assessment.

Green Star rating tools assesses the ESD properties of a building against nine categories including:

Management Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) Energy Transport Water Materials Land Use and Ecology Emissions Innovation

The project design brief developed by the City, required a community facility designed to suit the changing climatic conditions of Perth and to be constructed with a practical approach to sustainability, ensuring the City achieved its environmental mandate for the project with a minimal cost premium.

The design team for the Mills Park redevelopment project is composed of:Architecture: Hodge Collard Preston; Electrical engineering: Best Consultants Mechanical engineering: Steens, Grey and Kelly Civil engineering and landscape design: Cardno WA Hydraulic design: Construction Hydraulic Design Quantity surveying: Aquenta ESD and Green Star submission: Aecom Project Management: City of Gosnells.

Community facility 6 Star Green StarEnergySmart building design techniques including passive architecture, low-energy LED lighting and an efficient air conditioning system have reduced annual building energy consumption by up to 370mwh, enough to power 56 homes. Reducing energy use reduces CO2 emissions with an expected 200 tonne emissions reduction. Additionally, the buildings demand on the electricity grid has been reduced by more than 30% by utilising energy efficiency systems and a 30 kilowatt rooftop solar array capable of generating up to 15% of the buildings electricity requirement annually. These energy measures combined are estimated to save the City up to $145,000 annually in utility costs.

Indoor Environment Quality The Citys design team has carefully considered air conditioning systems, building lighting and architectural finishes to prevent common building problems such as toxic emissions, airborne germs and glare from negatively impacting on sporting association members and day visitors to the building. Patrons will have excellent views of the surrounding Mills Park and excellent levels of natural light to reduce reliance on artificial illumination. The air conditioning systems have been designed to keep CO2 concentrations inside the building to a minimum while also maintaining a comfortable, well ventilated atmosphere.

ManagementDiligent management of the design, construction and operation of the Community Facility will significantly reduce waste, energy and maintenance costs throughout the life of the building. The City has implemented a number of initiatives to achieve this. During the course of construction more than 80% of waste generated during will be recycled. Metering will be provided to monitor the buildings energy and water consumption providing detail information on running costs. Building services such as air conditioning will be fine-tuned to ensure optimal performance. The wetlands and parkland will be protected from pollution or physical damage during the construction process.

TransportThe City has sought to make Mills Park an attractive venue, accessible to the whole community. Mills Park will be plugged into the local walking and cycling networks, with plenty of secure bicycle storage provided for visitors. Access to the site by via public transport is encouraged, with the Transperth timetables for bus and train services provided on an interactive learning display in the community facilitys main foyer and public transport stops conveniently located near Mills Park. Limited parking is provided and priority has been given to small, fuel efficient vehicles; at least a quarter of the provided parking spaces have been sized and reserved for small cars.

WaterThe design includes numerous water saving features to conserve this precious resource. These include waterless urinals, low flow taps and toilets and efficient showers. Native plantings form the basis for all landscaping on site protecting Mills Park from drought and a 50,000 litre rainwater reuse system will help further reduce the annual potable water consumption. Overall, the design is expected to reduce potable water consumption by up to 70%, equating to a saving of 250kL annually.

Land Use and EcologyIn response to public demand, the City has focussed enormous effort on improving the ecological state of Mills Park. The degraded wetland area will be rehabilitated and vital habitat for threatened and endangered species will be recreated. To preserve existing habitat and vegetation, the new community facility will be constructed on the site of the former Mills Park Bowling club, with additional works already underway to remediate contaminated areas of Mills Park.

MaterialsCommon building materials such as cement have significant environmental impacts particularly in the manufacturing process. In response, over 30% of cement in the project will be replaced with a low-carbon alternative and steel will be sourced from Australian steel makers with proven environmental memberships and accreditations. Timber products will need to show chain of custody proving timber has been obtained from a sustainable source and PVC product manufacturers must demonstrate an independently verified environmental focus on the whole of life cycle for their products. Recycling is strongly encouraged across Mills Park with dedicated recycling bins at strategic locations throughout the parkland and a dedicated recycling storage area within the community centres waste store.

EmissionsPollution from the operation of the building has been minimised as far as practically possible. Stormwater flows will be screened and filtered to protect the Yule Brooke and the Canning River, lighting design will reduce the risk of light pollution affecting nearby residents and nocturnal species and all refrigerants and insulation used in the building are ozone friendly.

InnovationThroughout the project, the City has aimed to go above and beyond the environmental mandate from the community. To achieve this, a consultative, collaborative approach was adopted to realise the communitys ambitions for Mills Park. This innovative approach has resulted in a design for the community, by the community. The City has adopted other innovative measures in its approach to the project, maintaining financial openness regarding the cost of the project and seeking to source the majority of labour, materials and products from local sources wherever possible.
