Sustainability
At Aura, sustainability isn’t just a box to check—it’s a fundamental value that guides every decision we make. We’re proud to lead the way in creating communities that not only enhance the lives of our residents but also contribute positively to the environment for generations to come.
As a master planned community, Aura embodies a dedication to adopting sustainable practices and green initiatives, with one question commonly asked about our City Of Colour… Why do all the homes at Aura have light coloured roofs?
With heat being reflected away, the entire community then becomes a cooler community, increasing comfort levels for residents walking or riding through the numerous parks and streetscapes.
At Aura, we’re proud to lead the way with a cool roof policy, which not only enhances energy efficiency but also contributes to climate resilience. By prioritising sustainability in our homes, we’re not just building houses; we’re creating havens that support both the wellbeing of our residents and the health of our planet.
This ‘cool roof’ policy requires roof colours to meet specific solar absorbency standards. Light coloured roofs do a great job at reflecting heat, making the homes cooler and more energy efficient. This results in less heating and cooling requirements which also has the added benefit of reducing energy bills for residents.

Cool, hey!
