Tax Breaks to incentivise sustainability

The Federal Government’s new Tax Breaks for Green Buildings program will improve the energy efficiency of buildings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the nation’s shift to sustainability, says the Green Building Council of Australia.

“Around 95 per cent of Australia’s commercial buildings are not brand new. This means that the greening of our existing buildings is a considerable challenge – and one that must be tackled to secure Australia’s sustainable future,” says the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) Executive Director Robin Mellon.
