A FOUR-STOREY development approved by Port Phillip Council at 35 Ormond Rd is set to include a 4m high wind turbine. Wind power will be used to power body corporate needs such as lighting. Mayor Janet Bolitho said the Elwood apartment block would have other environmental sustainable features including a grey water treatment system and stormwater filtration. "Ultimately, the apartments should reach a six-star environmental rating," she said. "In environmental terms, the building is streets ahead of others in the neighbourhood," Cr Bolitho said.
