Wakefield Beach has been built Deep Green, which means it is designed to have minimal impact on the Environment.

The green roofs that top every one of the houses reduce heat build-up and retain water, naturally and they are also crafted so that the entire neighbourhood looks out at more natural views. A public park alongside Wakefield Creek, with the old Wakefield Inn sign recycled as its entrance, is part of many open natural areas with significant trees left undisturbed and additions of indigenous and drought resistant plantings. Homes are all south facing to capture not only the magnificent ocean views but passive solar heat as well.

Just a few of the Deep Green Practices at Wakefield Beach:

• geothermal, heating and cooling
• green roofs
• natural, indigenous landscaping (no irrigation system)
• solar powered outdoor lighting in the street
• Power Smart rating of 80+ (for each point over 70 you save
  3-4% on your energy bill)
• a pedestrian oriented neighborhood
• energy efficient appliances
• high performance window glazing
• low flow plumbing fixtures
