Environment
The owners have ensured the cabin development did not adversely impact on the fragile and sensitive nature of the coastal dune environment.
Negative impacts were minimized by:
• Providing environmentally sensitive designs in empathy with the site.
• Limiting disturbance to areas to be occupied by construction only.
• Replacing all topsoil, grass and vegetation to prevent degradation of the fragile ecology and to protect the excavated dune area from erosion.
• Conserving soil moisture by the use of seaweed and other mulches.
• Retaining all native vegetation, plus additional planting of trees and shrubs to create further screening and camouflage the site.
• Ensuring that external colours of the cabins complemented the foliage.
• Leaving the site clean and tidy and all timber off-cuts, rubbish and surplus building materials removed, to minimized pollution.
• Placing all services to the cabins underground to prevent unsightly poles.
• For energy conservation, commercial gas is used for instantaneous hot water, heating and cooking.
• Rainwater is collected and delivered by electric pump to each cabin. Plugs are fitted to all basins and dual flush toilets installed.
• Floor and window vents are used in the ecocabins. Solar blinds also absorb excessive heat during the day.
• Vegetated areas and wildlife corridors have been created to encourage bio diversity with the assistance of Landcare and Natural Heritage Grants.
• An efficient waste management system involves the recycling of all bottles and composting of vegetable matter.
• Natural, non-animal fat, eco-toiletries are used.
