The Lilyfield public housing redevelopment in Sydney, Australia, is the first public housing development to obtain a 5 star building rating.

This development has achieved an innovative new standard for public housing.

[edit] Features

• Open aspect
• Cross flow ventilation and ceiling fans
• Large windows for north and south walls can be opened for ventilation
• No airconditioning
• High thermal standard
• Rainwater storage of 120,000 litres used for toilets and other domestic uses
• Total cost of 30m dollars
• 88 apartments with a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms
• Communal courtyard with vegetable growing areas.
• Window shutters.

This project highlights a move away from high density high rise public housing, which also reduces the amount of materials required for construction.

In February 2011 there is a shortfall of 500,000 households for low income earners across Australia.
