The First Steps Count Community Centre in Taree, Australia, is a collaborative hub designed to support families with children aged 0–12, to create better access to support and services when they are needed. The project took 15 years to develop and complete, with the ideas for its inception coming from the local community in a co-design process with the First Steps Count Foundation, where many stakeholders collaborated on the Centre’s design, function and appearance. The Centre’s architects, builders and consultants were involved early in the project, and through an Integrated Design process, guided by the green building certification system known of the Living Building Challenge, a remarkable building was completed in 2024. This chapter is presented as a case study of the Centre, and focuses on the materials used to create the building and landscape. This sustainable, community-focused building is unique in the very local sourcing of building materials, procuring a significant amount of recycled and salvaged building materials, even using the trees from the site into the building. The chapter documents these materials and their environmental implications in the context of the Living Building Challenge criteria for Place, Energy, Materials and Beauty. An embodied carbon and circular ecology assessment of the building provides a performance evaluation. The chapter discusses the measured value of sustainability in relationship to the rich story of sustainability provided in this in-depth case study.
