Bishops See Stage 1 – South Tower, comprising a nine level office tower totalling 18,00 sqm is the first 5 Star Greenstar building in Western Australia and was completed in February 2009.

A number of innovations have been incorporated into the design of Bishops See in order to achieve a 5 Star Green Star Office Design rating, including:

  • Full height double glazing for windows ensuring that at least 60% of the NLA shall have a daylight factor.

  • Water meters for all uses such as bathrooms, cooling towers, irrigation, wash-down, recycled water, rainwater and hot water services will be installed to monitor usage of all major water outlets.
  • The podium level landscaping designed and installled with a water efficient sub-soil drip irrigation system.
  • The fire services system has been designed such that all test water consumed in the day to day maintenance operation, will be re-used through the greywater system.
  • A dedicated storage area has been provided in Basement 4 level for the separation, collection and recycling of office consumables.
