Living Green: Sustainable Living at The Heights

20 August 2025

There’s something special about being part of a community where green spaces aren’t an afterthought — they’re part of everyday life.

At The Heights Durack, sustainability is built into the very heart of the neighbourhood, shaping not only how it looks, but how it feels to live here.

From shady parks to tree-lined streets and relaxing walking and bike paths, our master-planned community is designed so nature is always close by. It’s about smart design that keeps homes naturally cool, streets shaded, and green spaces thriving — for today, and for generations to come.

Why It Matters Here

Darwin’s tropical climate is beautiful, but it can also be challenging. Sustainability at The Heights means:
Lower running costs – design guidelines encourage natural cooling and energy efficiency so you’re not relying on the air conditioner year-round.
Cooler streets – tree-lined boulevards and landscaped parks help combat heat and create spaces people want to be in.
Healthier lifestyles – over 15 hectares of open parkland means easy access to exercise, fresh air, and nature every day.
Long-term value – careful planning protects the quality and appeal of the neighbourhood, supporting property values and demand.

Green Spaces That Bring People Together

From Clive Graham Park and Phoenix Park to nearby Marlow Lagoon, green spaces are woven into daily life here. These areas aren’t just pretty backdrops — they’re designed for connection, whether it’s morning walks, weekend BBQs, or kids playing in the afternoon shade.

Our open spaces also support local wildlife and help maintain the unique beauty of the Territory landscape.

Sustainability in Action

Design Guidelines – Every new home is encouraged to make the most of breezes, shade, and natural light.
Landscape Planning – Native, drought-resistant plants reduce water use while keeping the community green year-round.
Community Spirit – From the Durack School garden program to recycling drives and Clean Up Australia Day, residents are part of keeping our neighbourhood healthy.

Choosing to live at The Heights Durack means choosing a home base that’s better for you, and better for the environment. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an investor, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a community built to last — with sustainability at its heart.
