Altogether Group provides essential utility services to over 500—and counting—communities across Australia, supporting sustainable living and lifestyles. Our embedded energy networks support renewable power generation through solar energy, and our water services provide drinking water, wastewater and recycled water that support all needs. None of the communities we support is exactly alike, which is why we provide custom solutions for each project to ensure their needs are met.
We’ll be looking at the diverse communities we support across the country, including urban communities, regional towns, and lifestyle villages, giving specific examples of how our tailored solutions contribute to sustainability.
Urban communities often have high energy consumption and water wastage, which pose a challenge when designing utility infrastructure. In the Q1 building on the Gold Coast, Altogether provides solar, gas, hot water and an embedded energy network, with our smart solutions reducing costs and environmental impact. As the embedded energy network allows energy to be purchased in bulk, it means that we can pass on savings to residents without compromise. Through power-conserving applications, power is supplied to communal areas in the building, including the community’s outdoor cinema, pool and wellness centre.
Similarly, at The Orchards by Sekisui House in northwest Sydney, we installed an integrated solution for energy needs. Through the use of advanced metering & telemetry solutions, an automated monitoring system can optimise usage to avoid market volatility without the need for manually reading meters.
In other urban communities, we utilise local renewable energy sources including solar and wind, that not only help communities transition away from reliance on coal-fired electricity but also improve energy security in the event of outages.
Our communities continue to lead the way in sustainable living, setting a benchmark for what’s possible in high-density, environmentally conscious development. We’ve expanded our presence across Greater Sydney, integrating our smart utility model into every new precinct.
With Australia accelerating its Net Zero targets and investing in greener infrastructure, we’ve aligned by:
Delivering CO₂ emissions reductions through solar-powered embedded networks in urban apartments
Introducing enhanced water recycling systems in new high-rise developments, reducing potable water use by up to 40%
Installing next-generation smart meters, enabling real-time tracking of energy and water use by residents
Our sustainable utility services are creating a lasting impact in growing regional centres, where infrastructure can be designed smartly from the ground up.
In regional towns, we play a crucial role in enhancing sustainability and addressing local challenges such as water scarcity and energy reliability. We’ve expanded into several regional developments across Logan, Park Ridge, and parts of the Hunter Valley, embedding localised energy and water solutions into town planning.
Huntlee—the first new town developed in the Hunter Valley in 50 years—is the perfect example of our commitment to regional sustainability. By processing water through an advanced treatment system at a recycled water treatment plant, we offer better water pressure than local utilities can offer, providing water for the Huntlee community to flush toilets, irrigate gardens, suppress dust, clean streets, and wash clothes so that they won’t be restricted even during drought conditions. We also provide utilities to the Gables in Box Hill, a sustainable green community that is supported by our recycled water systems, and Pitt Town, the first community that Altogether helped to reuse wastewater through a local sustainable recycled water network.
Key outcomes:
Over 1.2 billion litres of water recycled in regional towns to date
8,000+ households connected to local renewable energy networks
Zero wastewater discharge communities rolled out in two new towns, closing the loop and protecting local waterways
These projects are not only aligned with regional development goals but also support Australia’s updated 2035 emissions reduction pathway through decentralised, low-impact infrastructure.

Sustainability and lifestyle go hand-in-hand in our lifestyle villages. Lifestyle villages are another community that Altogether Group supports. Seachange Toowoomba is one such example, as the over-50s boutique community is served by an advanced embedded energy network and solar system that automatically adjusts the distribution of energy to keep living costs down. As the rooftop solar panelling is owned, operated and maintained by Altogether, residents can benefit from localised clean energy that is distributed at no cost. In our lifestyle villages, we not only improve energy security and sustainability, but we prioritise the needs of these communities without compromising on price.
We are proud to support a diverse range of communities across Australia, providing innovative utility solutions that will last for many years to come. As we continue to grow our reach across more than 500 communities, we are committed to ensuring desirable outcomes for each as if it were the only community we served. Our tailored approach means that the unique challenges presented by each community is tackled at macro and micro levels, and through collaboration with stakeholders—including local councils, strata managers, and residents—we ensure the best quality of life whilst also benefiting the environment. Looking forward, our support of local communities continues to make a positive impact, contributing to a greener, and more sustainable future for Australia.
We’ve:
Integrated battery storage systems into several villages to maximise solar energy usage
Achieved up to 70% water reuse within some communities through decentralised treatment systems
Reduced average household emissions

In our communities, we embed sustainable utility solutions right from the start, not as an add-on, but as part of the core infrastructure. This includes:
Recycled water systems for irrigation, toilet flushing, and outdoor use, easing pressure on potable water supplies
Localised energy networks powered by solar and battery systems
Smart metering to help residents track and reduce their consumption
Decentralised wastewater treatment plants to treat and reuse water within the community
To reflect our continued progress and transparency, we’ve updated our sustainability timeline for 2025:
2015 – Altogether Group is established
2018 – First urban recycled water community launched
2020 – Smart metering rolled out across key developments
2022 – 1 billion litres of water recycled
2023 – First net zero-ready development piloted
2025 – 20,000+ tonnes of CO₂ avoided, 2+ billion litres of water recycled, expanded into 5 new communities
At Altogether, we deliver reliable, localised essential services to over 500 communities across Australia. From world-leading recycled water systems to efficient embedded energy networks in high-rise communities, and smart grids in small communities, we're determined to do the right thing by our customers, and by the planet. As a multi-utility service provider, it’s our mission to make the world a brighter place, and we do that by offering sustainable power, water and data services.
