Corio is coined Australia's first climate-resilient precinct: the first designed around the Tree Nurturing System (TNS™), now through development approval and in detailed design. Every entry here carries an explicit status, so nothing on this page reads as built before it is.
Nodes are placed per road micro-catchment rather than per lot, with storage at each node sized to the calculated inflow for the catchment it serves. The precinct is designed around the TNS™ with EnviroKerb® permeable kerb units, a tree pit per road micro-catchment, each holding the water from the area it serves.
Development approval has been granted and the precinct is in detailed design. Servicing follows the same regime as any other installation: surface sweeping, a removable tray and a consumable filter, with no confined-space entry.
On completion the precinct is intended to be Australia's first fully integrated blue–green–IoT development – source-control retention, regenerative planting and live performance monitoring across the whole street network.
Further sites are at earlier stages. They appear here once they are approved and cleared for publication – status labels on this page mean what they say.
Micro-catchment calculations, the MUSIC model, node placement and the maintenance regime – the same package that took this precinct through approval.
