430 Marion Industrial Park Achieves 6 Star Green Star Design & As-Built Rating

We’re proud to share that the 430 Marion Industrial Park located in Bankstown Airport has achieved a 6 Star Green Star Design & As-Built v1.3 rating, exceeding the initial 5 Star target!

Delivered by Taylor in partnership with Aeria Management Group, Barings, and Adapt PM, the industrial park brings a new standard of premium warehouses to the growing Bankstown Airport precinct, designed to suit current and future operational needs.

The design and construct project comprised five warehouses with a combined area of 15,105 square meters, including associated two-storey offices. It features ten different tenancy options varying in size and configuration to suit a range of potential tenants with 200 car parking spaces.

Key sustainability features of the project include:

• Large Solar System: A large 964kW Solar system which acts as an embedded network for the Industrial development.
• Local procurement: The project employed a local workforce of approx. 42.5% of the services and skilled labour.
• Sustainable Concrete Mixes: The project utilised lower embodied carbon concrete mixes, resulting in a 21% reduction in cement content versus traditional concrete mixes.
• Smart Water and Energy Monitoring: Extensive electrical and water meters were installed and connected to the precinct’s Energy Management System, allowing excessive water or energy consumption to be identified.
• Indoor Air Quality: The project adopted extensive use of Low-Volatile Organic Compound based paints, adhesives, sealants, and carpets, along with engineered wood products containing minimal formaldehyde content.
• Sustainable Products: The project incorporated the use of responsibly manufactured building materials such as recycled reinforcing steel, metal roofing, joinery and carpet tiles.
• Biodiversity Improvement: The project involved the planting of approximately 1,744m2 of native plant species within the project landscaping.
• Sustainable Transport: The project includes dedicated parking for fuel efficient vehicles such as EV’s and Hybrid cars to promote to uptake of more sustainable transportation options for building users.

As construction was undertaken in a live airport environment, the works could not disrupt any of the normal Bankstown Airport operations. Taylor is highly experienced in delivering various projects in live environments, including several airports.

Placed at the heart of a rapidly growing centre of economic activity, 430 Marion’s strategic location offers unrivalled access to major arterial roads, linking the site to all major hubs across the eastern seaboard.

430 Marion Industrial Park is the latest addition to Taylor’s expanding portfolio of projects that have achieved a 6 Star Green Star Design & As-Built Rating over the last few years. Our most recent achievements include:

• Taronga Institute of Science & Learning
• Pendle Hill High School Upgrade
• Pemulwuy Greystanes BUNZEL
• Building 2, Wetherill Park
• Sydney Olympic Park Head Office Fitout

Well done to all involved in achieving this outstanding result!
