Australia's 21 August federal election is an opportunity for all sides of politics to commit to sustainable buildings, communities and cities.
The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has released its 'green building agenda' for 2010-2013, which outlines the five priorities which it believes will place Australia on a clear, long-term pathway to sustainability.
These five green building priorities are:
- Provide visionary government leadership
- Retrofit and improve existing buildings
- Green education and healthcare facilities
- Move beyond buildings to communities and cities
- Embed green skills across all industry training
We believe these priorities, if effectively addressed, will help transition Australia's green building practices from 'voluntary to vital'
