A new Melbourne precinct of smart homes & Tesla’s ‘Powerwall’ energy storage will also be Smart Wired.
Being called ‘the suburb of the future’ YarraBend is a new riverside suburb only 6.5 kms from Melbourne’s CBD blending high-end homes and apartments, open space, green building and 21st century technologies.
YarraBend becomes a world first ‘TESLA suburb’ by including Tesla Powerwalls and solar power as standard within houses and apartments so the
“the 16.46 hectare development has the potential to reduce energy consumption by 34 percent.”
Technology will be a crucial feature and YarraBend’s residents will belong to a SmartWired® community with high-speed internet and a complimentary tech-concierge, a technical call-out service to assist with Smart Wiring™ or even WiFi home entertainment set ups.
High-level mobility via integrated public transport links and an emphasis on the environment with landscaped walking trails and parks mean that the 2500 new residences-including options for three to five bedroom houses, apartments and townhouses-will be at a premium.
Smart Wiring™ is the leading Australian standard for wiring homes to handle technology including superfast broadband and was developed by the International Copper Association Australian in partnership with government, the telecommunications and housing industries, peak industry bodies.
