The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has established a new committee to create stronger links with the Asia Pacific region and promote the benefits of sustainable green building practices.

The new Asia Pacific Committee will be chaired by Daniel Grollo, CEO of Grocon and member of the GBCA’s Board. The committee will include high level representatives from GBCA member companies and will work closely with Austrade.

The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) has appointed an Asia Pacific Regional Manager, Trudy-Ann King, who will be supporting emerging green building councils in the region by developing a WorldGBC Asia Pacific Network to link the activities in the region, as well as work with each country individually.

Ms King will speak in Melbourne on ‘The opportunities for local government to drive sustainable building solutions’ at the Sustainable Councils Conference in Melbourne on 7 May.
