Parramatta. Landcom wins top prize

New technology adopted by Landcom, based in Parramatta, in the planning of its award-winning Bungarribee estate development has earned the group the top prize at the Planning Institute NSW Planning Excellence Awards in Sydney. PRECINX is a mathematical modelling tool that measures the potential sustainability of neighbourhood scale developments, such as large multi-dwellings and mixed-use projects, while still in the early stages of design, against key environmental, social and economic criteria. Stephen Driscoll, director of sustainability for Landcom, said there was nothing else like PRECINX in Australia.
