Земля/Ділянка продаж Eden, Imlay St

Looking to mitigate the effects of Climate Change on you and your descendants? This suburban block satisfies the owner's strict criteria. The owner worked for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for 30 years and has a Masters in Environmental Pollution Control. He studied Climate Change in 1981 at the University of New South Wales and became increasingly concerned over the following years. Background: This site and dwelling has been identified and purchased, designed after a 20 year, Australia-wide search for a site with very low BAL, good solar energy and wind energy potential, consistent water supply, sufficient population and infrastructure and access to locally grown foods and seafood. Sustainable living is planned within the constraints of age and health, access and transport. It is protected from severe tsunami and being built to provide shelter from severe winds, thunderstorms, tornadoes, rain and hail to the extent possible within limited finances. Construction of a two-story dwelling at 33 Victoria Terrace, Eden is anticipated to have negligible impact on the environment. Bushfire Attach level: 12.5 which is extremely LOW Electricity – generation/storage/ grid supply and export: The owner of the house has designed the dwelling to minimise electric power usage, support usage with 6Kw solar panels in the first instance and with Australian Redflow, environmentally friendly, solar battery/s in the longer term. Gas: No gas usage is envisaged or planned Wind: The dwelling is perfectly situated to capitalise on wind generation as and when plant costs come down and units are aesthetically acceptable. Insulation: Every effort is being made to maximise design attributes for passive heating and cooling. Windows are situated to maximise flow-through from both prevailing SW winds and the NE sea breeze. All windows and doors will be double-glazed, clear glass, aluminium NOT thermally broken as the climatic conditions for the most part will be tempered by the proximity of the ocean. Climate change has been anticipated in the build. Construction strength and other matters: Construction will meet or exceed N4 (Hurricane) wind standards, as intense east coast lows are anticipated in the near future, as a result of Climate Change. Stormwater: - gutters and piping are designed to anticipate significantly increased rainfall intensities, which have already occurred in January, 2020 and at other times. Stormwater collection is planned, but with little land area available and the steep slope, massive water storage is prohibitively expensive. Excess stormwater will be delivered to the existing pit in Victoria Terrace using the existing pipe in the southern boundary stormwater easement. Sewer: pump-up sewer is the only option available right now, but development may see access to gravity sewer pipes to Victoria Terrace possible in the medium term. Tsunami: The location of the house means impact from tsunami is highly improbable – any event will largely wash inland from Twofold Bay. Sea Level Rise: NASA anticipates 6 metre sea level rise by 2021 – worst case. The house and land will not5 be adversely affected by such a rise. In the longer term- 200-300 years when all ice has melted, the house will be inundated as the sea level will rise 60 metres. I doubt civilisation as we know it would survive this, but I certainly won’t be around. Six metre sea level rise will likely cut off access north and south via the Princes Hwy, but access to the Great Divide via Nethercote is expected based on current elevations. Flora and fauna impacts: As the block is only 678Sq. M in area, located in a residential area of the town and the footprint of the building is relatively small, it is highly unlikely that adverse impacts o local flora and fauna will occur either during or after construction. Complete plans are available in PDF format for two different designs - shown above - internal layout is similar and capitalises on single level living, easy access, sustainable living and the magnificent view. A Development Application is in process with the local Bega Valley Shire Council.
