NATASHA MULCAHY SEKISUI HOUSE AUSTRALIA

Natasha Mulcahy is the sustainability manager for West Village, the $1 billion urban renewal project in Brisbane’s West End. Her passion for creating liveable cities has influenced all facets of West Village. She has been a senior member of the development team since the 2.6 ha site, a former Peter’s Ice Cream factory, was acquired in 2014. Mulcahy was instrumental in the negotiation of sustainability requirements with the government and has driven all sustainability initiatives at West Village. In 2017 Mulcahy achieved a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating for the project, the highest recognition for master-planned precincts in Australia and demonstrating world leadership in sustainability.

Her leadership has driven the team to apply innovative ideas to sustainability challenges within a crowded, cost-driven marketplace. West Village residents now benefit from an embedded energy network providing a 30kw solar system and delivering 100 percent carbon offset energy to residents at a 25 percent discount to market rate.
