Interactions with water as a shared resource

Location or comment

Landcom has an indirect relationship with water. The greatest impact our developments will have is on the future use by those who live, work and do business in the community once we have delivered it. We do not directly withdraw, consume or discharge water. This is why our targets focus on designing communities that will have low consumption by users, with forecast runoff meeting low impact pollutant loads. See how we established all Sustainable Places Strategy targets here.

All service providers are required to comply with Codes of Conduct that require suppliers to meet high standards in relation to issues such as anti-corruption, environmental protection and social impacts.

Landcom has supplier panels set up for our main activities, including:

  • Builders (17 suppliers)
  • Civil works (10 suppliers)
  • Landscaping (13 suppliers)

These panels are identified as having the potential to generate negative environmental impacts via works that may be undertaken. As part of the panels’ establishment environmental and sustainability criteria for evaluation. These panels are due to be renewed in May 2021 and we will continue to include environmental criteria in the evaluation.

These suppliers are required to prepare an environmental management plan, and to undertake independent audits against their plans when they undertake work for Landcom. During the reporting period we did not agree on any improvements with these suppliers or terminate any relationships as a result of assessments.
