Newinbosch is a sustainable development proudly leading the way in Africa. It’s the first in South Africa and Africa to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Sustainable Precincts v1.1 Certification, setting a new standard for eco-friendly urban living. The precinct has also been awarded EDGE Advanced certification, signifying residential units that are 40% more energy efficient and 20% more water and material efficient than industry norms. Upcoming certifications include Net Zero Ecology, 5 Star Green Star for the Grappa Shed, and Net Zero Carbon, confirming the project’s deep commitment to sustainability across both the community and infrastructure.
The Newinbosch Renewable Energy System blends solar, grid, battery, and future-ready generator inputs to form a resilient microgrid. This ensures no load shedding up to Stage 3 and uninterrupted, limited power from Stage 4–8. The energy component is led by Broadreach and Lesedi. Other innovations include an urban farm, green infrastructure, waste management systems, and waterwise irrigation, all reinforcing the goal of becoming the greenest neighbourhood in Africa.
