Total volume of water recycled and reused by the organisation linked to metered utility data.

Landcom has no material water recycling and reuse linked to metered utility data for our business operations, as we do not have operational assets.

Planning for water recycling is addressed through master planning and generally is the responsibility of our customers (i.e. to meet BASIX requirements). Once land is sold to the customer, Landcom no longer maintains operational control of that land and its water collection or usage. 

As such we don't report fully against this indicator. See 'Potable Water Reduction' in the Sustainability Report 2018.
