We advocate on behalf of our members for better policy and tools for sustainable built environments. We provide a local government perspective about what will work in practice, based on our technical skills and our collective experience at the local level.
CASBE regularly contributes submissions to policy discussions at state and national level. We are able to draw on a wide range of local government experience to provide a comprehensive summary of the issues at hand.
We also actively engage with industry bodies and state government to support research into transition paths for sustainable buildings.
