Building in Central Australia means working with one of the toughest, most beautiful environments on earth. The heat, the distance, the elements — they all shape how we design and deliver every project. 

But at MPH Projects, we see these challenges as opportunities to innovate, creating smarter, greener builds that respect the land and reduce environmental impact for generations to come.

Harnessing the Power of the Desert

We believe every project in the Territory should work with the environment, not against it.

At the Alice Springs Adventure Park, for example, our design integrates solar power systems that capture the Territory’s abundant sunlight to help power key site features. Combined with water-saving technologies that keep the park green and functional year-round, the result is a space that’s as fun as it is future-focused.

We’re also bringing this same thinking to the Newland Street Regional Skate Park and Play Precinct, which is currently under construction. Designed to be a vibrant, inclusive community space, the project incorporates sustainable materials and efficient construction practices that minimise waste. The site’s design carefully considers natural light, airflow, and local conditions — creating a space that celebrates active living while respecting the surrounding environment.

Smarter Homes, Greener Living

Across recent residential projects, our team has been incorporating solar panels, energy-efficient insulation, and high-performance building materials that help reduce household energy use while keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. These design choices aren’t just about comfort, they’re about helping  Territory families cut costs and lower their environmental footprint without compromising on quality or durability.

Practical, Sustainable Design

Sustainability looks different in regional areas. It’s not about high-end technology for its own sake — it’s about smart, practical design that makes sense in the Central Australian context.

That means:

• Using locally sourced materials wherever possible to minimise transport emissions

• Incorporating passive design principles like shading and airflow to naturally regulate temperature

• Planning builds that stand the test of time in the Territory’s extreme conditions

Building for the Future

Whether we’re upgrading a community park, constructing housing in remote townships, or creating new facilities in Alice Springs, every project is a chance to build a greener future. By combining local knowledge, innovative design, and respect for Country, we’re proud to lead sustainable construction in the heart of Australia.

Sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a responsibility.
