"Finance Minister, Tim Holding, has called for a national agreement to improve the sustainability of Government office buildings around the country.
At a meeting of State and Territory Finance Ministers, Mr Holding challenged his fellow Minister’s to provide leadership in sustainability to the construction and commercial industry.
“Collectively, State Governments manage 4 million square metres of office space and there is an increased urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve water and energy and provide healthier buildings that impact less on the environment,” Mr Holding said.
By working towards a National Framework for Sustainable Government Office Buildings, we can ensure time and cost savings, as well as increased benefits for the environment.”
