First 6 Star Green Star community in Orange recognised as world-leading for sustainability
Landcom and Orange City Council’s transformative joint project ‘Redleaf’ has been recognised as a world-leading sustainable precinct, becoming the first 6 Star Green Star community in Orange and achieving the highest rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.
The recognition highlights the project’s focus on delivering not just more homes, but a well-connected, liveable community designed for the future of Orange.
Redleaf joins a notable group of 6 Star communities and precincts, including other Landcom projects such as Green Square and Panorama in North Wilton, alongside leading developments in NSW such as Barangaroo South, Ed Square, Willowdale and Sydney Olympic Park.
Green Star is an independent, national rating tool that assesses the design, sustainability environmental performance, and liveability of communities. A 4 star rating represents best practice, 5 star indicates Australian excellence and 6 star is considered world-leading.
For future residents, the rating reflects a community designed to support healthier, more active lifestyles, with easy access to green space, walking and cycling connections, and places to gather and connect.
Once complete, Redleaf will transform more than 24 hectares of Council-owned land into around 300 new homes, including houses, duplexes and townhouses.
Designed for people at every stage of life, the neighbourhood will feature leafy streets, parks and open spaces woven throughout, creating a place where everyday living extends outdoors.
Key features recognised by the certification include:
- designing a safe and walkable neighbourhood connected to a network of parks, active recreation areas and a linked system of walking and cycling paths
- climate resilience planning incorporated from early design development
- strong planning for long term biodiversity enhancement and ecological health
- sustainable construction practices, including lower-impact materials and waste reduction
- early community engagement to drive project visioning and design.
- construction and sales at Redleaf are expected to begin later this year.
Quotes attributable to Landcom CEO, Alexander Wendler:
This recognition highlights what we are aiming to achieve at Redleaf, making homes happen while creating a well-designed, connected community that how people want to live now and into the future.
Sustainability has been embedded in the project from the outset, shaping how the neighbourhood will respond to climate change, support biodiversity and create healthier, more liveable spaces for residents.
By working in partnership with Council, we are helping deliver more housing choice in a way that responds to the needs of the local community.
Quotes attributable to Orange Mayor, Tony Mileto
Achieving a 6 Star Green Star rating is a significant achievement for the Redleaf development and demonstrates our commitment to leading the way in sustainable community development.
This project sets the standard for how we want to plan for the future, by creating neighbourhoods that are not only liveable and connected, but environmentally responsible and built to last.
Quotes attributable to Environmental Sustainability Community Committee Chair, Cr David Mallard
A 6 Star rating confirms that sustainability has been embedded in every stage of this project, from early planning through to design and delivery.
Redleaf shows how thoughtful design can support biodiversity, reduce environmental impact and build resilience to climate change while still delivering a high-quality place for people to live.
