BUDGET 2013: Key reactions [Published Ben Global - May 16 2013]

"Over the past decade, the host nations of most major sporting events such as the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World Cup have worked with their local green building councils to ensure their arenas and precincts reach the highest sustainability levels and showcase national leadership and excellence. "There is a natural synergy between the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and Green Star - Communities and we look forward to working with the Queensland Government to ensure the Commonwealth Games Village provides measureable and lasting economic, social and environmental benefits to the people of the Gold Coast," Ms Madew concludes. Green Star - Communities is an independent, national rating tool developed by the Green Building Council of Australia to drive more sustainable, productive and liveable communities. Green Star - Communities supports the planning, design and delivery of communities, precincts and neighbourhoods that prioritise environmental sustainability - such as minimising energy and water consumption, and reducing dependence on motor vehicles - alongside broader issues such as economic prosperity, liveability and community health and wellbeing."
