CRC received Highly Commended award for Excellence in Integrated Stormwater Design for Horsley Drive Business Park Stage 1 project, located at Wetherill Park in Western Sydney.

The redevelopment of 21.3 hectares of degraded land has resulted in significant benefits for water quality, biodiversity, and the local economy. The project sets the benchmark for sustainable and integrated industrial development being the first project of its kind in Australia to be awarded the 6-star Green Star Rating, acknowledging world leadership in sustainable design.

Stormwater NSW congratulated the whole team involved in the Horsley Drive Business Park Stage 1, with key stakeholders including The Western Sydney Parklands Trust, and Frasers Property.

Horsley Drive Business Park is the first and only industrial precinct in Australia to successfully target a ‘6-star’ Green Star rating (Green Building Council of Australia), certifying ‘World Leadership’ in sustainable design.

Mark Wilson credited Newcastle-based CRC civil engineer, Mitchell Cross, for outstanding contributions towards the successful completion of HDBP Stage 1.

CRC is incredibly proud to receive this award, and we congratulate all other winners and entrants.
