A common factor to the success has been the innovative systems installed by Midell Water Solutions Pty Ltd, which was formed from the intellectual property from a PhD study by CQUniversity's Ben Kele.

Mr Kele is proud that CQUniversity was able to play a part in the Sunrise development's success, thanks to its input into and support for the wastewater facilities.

* The FIABCI Awards cover a network of more than 50 countries and over 110 professional organisations worldwide.
