Residents who have moved into their homes enjoy the priviledge of living next to nature reserves with magnificant river and creek views and flora - Angophora Gully to the northeast and Tarban Creek to the north of Botanic Cove. Angophora Gully, a reserve with various species of native and heritage-listed vegetation was conserved and improved.

Keppel Land also worked closely with the Hunters Hill Council on the conservation of the Tarban Creek. These include the design of the sedimentation basin which stops direct flow of silt from the stormwater drainage into the creek, and prevents erosion and subsequent pollution of the creek. This will facilitate the reversal of the long-term degradation of the creek.

In the island resort of Ria Bintan, the award-winning golf resort takes an environmentally-friendly stance towards the maintenance of the greens. Hillslopes affected by natural erosion have been re-forested with indigenous trees. Similarly, barren turfs have also been re-planted with indigenous cover.

To preserve the air quality, open-burning to clear land parcels is strictly prohibited. As part of its recycling efforts, fallen trees are used to build staircases ensuring minimal impact on the natural forestation.

In Spring City, Kunming, properties are developed to harmonise with and improve the environment.

In the highlands of Yunnan, the Spring City Golf and Lake Resort in Kunming is another exemplary model of Keppel Land’s eco-efforts.

Pristine lakes and majestic mountain ranges frame the picturesque world-class golf course. The natural and indigenous flora at this resort which is situated 2,000 metres above sea-level have been carefully preserved during the construction stage, and thereafter.

Original eucalyptus trees and wildflowers have been relocated and replanted as the greens were carved out of the hills. Natural habitats of local fauna were painstakingly recreated to ensure that the ecosystem remains balanced and intact.

Given the natural biodiversity, golfers are now able to enjoy glimpses of wild rabbits and squirrels, flitting butterflies and even kingfishers skimming the glistening surface of the lakes.
