The implementation of a substantial water harvesting, storage and filtration systems to collect and reuse water, minimising waste and conserving resources.
The updated facade enhances both the building's aesthetic appeal and its energy efficiency, comfort and natural lighting.
The incorporation of energy-efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems to optimise energy usage and minimise environmental impact.
Thoughtfully selected landscaping featuring indigenous trees and plants to enhance and preserve natural habitats.
Supergroup says its dealerships remain steadfast in their commitment to driving positive change in the automotive industry.
