Where you work has a direct influence on how well you work. Which is why Garigal has pride of place in Austlink Business Park’s 'dress circle'.
It is 6,000sqm of the finest office space in Sydney set in quiet scenic grandeur, creating the type of work environment that inspires people to be at their most productive.
Economic benefits
Due to its waste water treatment plant Garigal is not connected
to any sewage service and that means: no sewer rates.
Natural ventilation, solar-activated external blinds, sensor-controlled lighting, inverter air conditioning…Garigal abounds with energy-saving design initiatives. And this results in substantially lower electricity charges.
It’s estimated this building’s outgoings will be 30% cheaper
than comparable projects and achieve average savings of up
to $1175 per unit per year (that’s approximately $17 per sqm
of strata area).

Healthier work environment
Ability to open windows to get fresh air and obtain natural
cross-flow ventilation
Individual air conditioning systems in each suite and no
central plant eliminate the risk of ‘sick building syndrome’.
Private balconies from each suite take full advantage of the natural bushland environment – open outlook and fresh air.
A direct consequence of designing Garigal for ecological sustainability is a more natural work environment in which workers have greater control of temperature and ventilation. Greater comfort leads to happier workers.
A number of studies have shown that when workers have
control of their own work environment there is less absentee
-ism due to sickness and other reasons, and workers are more productive. They are more interested in what they are doing,
they do more work and they make fewer mistakes.

Corporate image
Business owners will receive recognition for operating from
an environmentally responsible building. In the future there
may be more tangible benefits, for example, from selling
credits in a carbon credits system.
