Vision Statement The town of ANGUSTUS represents a unique opportunity to create a new vibrant, modern, water based, coastal development that will be a place for the local community to live, work and play. A contemporary coastal architectural character will be actively encouraged with modern sophisticated homes responding to a relaxed seaside lifestyle. The contemporary architecture will be strongly influenced by the special qualities of the site. These include the colours of the landscape, the topography of the development and the micro-climate, with the need for adjustable indoor/outdoor spaces to create a balance between privacy and transparency. Australand will be creating a sustainable, new-built environment where each dwelling is to be designed and

constructed in accordance with WaterWise and EnergySmart principles to ensure that water consumption and energy usage are minimised. Within its Sustainability Strategy for ANGUSTUS, Australand has committed to reducing potable water demand by 50% and average energy consumption by 50%. It is Australand’s vision that the design advice outlined in these guidelines will create an integrated community that showcases contemporary housing with a distinctive ‘coastal’ character. Not only will ANGUSTUS offer a lifestyle like no other, but also, a wise and profitable investment for the future.
