Lot Fourteen, situated at the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) site in South Australia, is being transformed into a global innovation neighbourhood of entrepreneurship, research collaboration and cultural activity. With existing heritage listed buildings, new centres of excellence including the Entrepreneur and Innovation Centre and Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre, and a raft of community facilities, Lot Fourteen is bringing together people from everywhere to share ideas and experiences.

In this webinar, Jacob Potter from dsquared Consulting discusses how sustainability has been integrated into the Lot Fourteen neighbourhood using Green Star and how in turn, Lot Fourteen has been driving innovative solutions within the Green Star tools and creating new pathways for projects to realise their sustainability aims.

Key topics include:

• Key solutions and lessons learnt for the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings.
• Innovative solutions for precinct wide systems including shared thermal plant and recycled water. 
• Using life cycle analyses to demonstrate emission reduction benefits.
• Integrating sustainable transport with car free streets, end of trip facilities and increased connectivity to the surrounding public transport network and bicycle ways. 
• How resources and waste management have been integrated and facilities shared across the precinct.
• How both the neighbourhood and buildings have been designed for health and well-being.
• Key project highlights and initiatives.

To incorporate and embed sustainability, aged care organisations need to take a long-term view towards managing their environmental and social risks as well as impacts. The foundation in supporting the business case for sustainability in aged care can be categorised into two areas: operational efficiencies and enhanced brand reputation.

Having a robust sustainability vision, policy, strategy and action plan can significantly reduce operating costs, eliminate waste, create energy efficiency, further engage employees, strengthen a company’s brand value and potentially open up new opportunities.

In this webinar, we will explore the process of building sustainability from the ground up and ‘painting on a blank piece of canvas’. The mandate to get it right from the start is critical to the longevity of the sustainability movement. Hence, this presentation also details the business case on kick-starting a program that is almost ‘unchartered territory’ for the business and its stakeholders.

Key areas to be covered:

• The importance of forward thinking, believing in the change and leading by example
• Prioritising what you want to achieve; you can’t do everything!
• Communicating the why and the what even when you don’t know the how
• Regis’ sustainability outcomes

Join Dr Kaushik Sridhar, National Sustainability Manager, Regis Healthcare, to learn how to make sustainable change stick.
