What happened to the old furniture?

As part of our efforts to promote green building , we have made sure to recycle the old furniture and all building materials that have come for this site.

It has been enormously important to reuse, recycle and refine the design to meet the green building standards as best we possibly can during the construction of the health centre.

While this is not always the most economical cost saving solution , it is by far the best long term solution .

We have really pushed all services involved to look for the best green alternative solution.

We have used only materials which meet the Green Building Council Australia's requirements .

We have also pushed to ensure low electro magentic field output from such things as, air conditioning , heating lighting , the position of the data and mechanical services control panels
(which give huge output !)

We have worked with service providers to ensure the water flow into and out of the building is not in direct contact with the practitioner rooms and therefore does not interfere with the therapies being offered in these rooms .
