A Community of Sustainability
Dockside Green is a 15-acre master-planned, sustainable community located in Victoria’s Upper Harbour. Since 2008, Corix has been the utility services backbone in this eco-conscious community, and in 2018 became the sole owner of Dockside Green Energy.
Path to an Environmentally Friendly Future
At the heart of Dockside Green is the Energy Centre, a hub providing space heating and domestic hot water to customers. The Energy Centre uses natural gas boilers via a district energy system. District energy systems are designed to centralize mechanical equipment for the efficient sharing of energy across multiple buildings.
As the development grows and energy demand increases, the system will transition to a low-carbon energy source, reducing greenhouse gases and ensuring reliable, resilient services for future generations.
FAQ
No, the plant currently utilizes high-efficiency natural gas boilers.
Future low-carbon energy sources are currently under evaluation in order to identify suitable technologies to decarbonize the system in the near future.
Our customers expect reliability. Corix uses advanced monitoring technology called SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) to monitor, gather and process real-time data for our local and remote operations.
The system sensors provide constant updates about the equipment, allowing the team to identify and troubleshoot issues immediately and mitigate or prevent downtime for our customers. Our systems have built-in redundancy, so they can continue to operate using backup sources and equipment.
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
Corix acknowledges that the Dockside Green Energy utility lies on the unceded Traditional Territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation.
