L’Oréal has set ambitious, measurable targets for climate, water, biodiversity, and natural resources as part of their “L’Oréal for the Future” program, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality, reduce water consumption, and minimize environmental impact by 2030.
Goodman developed L’Oréal’s first Queensland purpose-built distribution centre at Redbank Estate, providing a state-of-the-art facility in Brisbane to support the company’s growth and meet customer demand.
The landscape design of the centre focuses on creating spaces that complement the new facility while fostering environmentally friendly, biodiverse environments with practical uses. Recycled timber sleepers were repurposed to create bench seats and landscape features. Decomposed granite surface finishes, vegetable planters, and corten steel edging contribute to inviting spaces where team members can congregate and relax.
A meandering footpath guides users through the surroundings, encouraging exploration and a connection with nature. Livistona palms and shade trees add natural beauty, creating pleasant shaded areas for relaxation.
By incorporating freeform design lines, natural elements, native species, and organic finishes, the result is a harmonious blend of functionality and sustainability.
