SALT is a planned One Planet residential community set on the margins of the coastal township of Torquay in regional Victoria. Its history, location and setting is unique, local, and coastal, earning it the working name of ‘SALT’.

The SALT layout has been designed to respond to the site topography and the broader coastal landscape; optimise views and solar access to individual lots; minimise reliance on non- renewable energy; encourage sustainable use of water; encourage mobility via walking and cycling; and retain and reintroduce native vegetation. All buildings and works at SALT Torquay will require approval by an independent SALT Design Review Committee (DRC) prior to obtaining a building permit.

The DRC will facilitate innovative, diverse and environmentally leading housing design including ensuring NatHERS 7.5 star minimum energy ratings and sliver level (DDA) liveable housing guidelines are met. The DRC will also properly guide and ensure appropriate and consistent aesthetics, materials and landscaping based on the Contemporary Coastal Urban Architecture concept.
