Sustainability
Owners and residents at 19 Belmont have shown strong support for sustainability measures.
OC Projects
Solar
In late 2025 a 20+kW shared solar power system was installed on the common roof, and the power generated is equally shared between all 10 units – this should see a reduction in electricity bills for residents of between $500-800 per unit, per year.
Battery
To maximise the amount of solar-generated electricity staying “onsite”, a 25kWh battery was installed alongside the solar power system – this allows over-generation during the day to be stored for use at night, or by common property usage.
Lighting Upgrades
As of late 2025, all fluorescent light fixtures on Common Property have been converted to LED motion-sensor lights.
Heat Pumps
In the second half of 2026, the owners corporation will replace the shared gas-powered hot water system with a heat pump system, which should see significantly lower hot water energy costs for residents.
