Fitzgibbon Chase was the first project in Australia to achieve all six elements under the version 2.0 of the EnviroDevelopment technical standards. The environmental principles and practices have been incorporated into the development with minimal cost and time imposts. These outcomes were achieved by integrating appropriate design principals and methodologies early in the planning stages through to working closely with our builder partners and contractors. 

Once completed, the entire Fitzgibbon Chase development will contain up to 1,700 homes in a range of styles to suit all household types, as well as parks and a 40-hectare conservation area. The development sits on a 114-hectare site, 50 per cent of which will remain green space to preserve the natural fauna and flora.
