Our Policy Priorities

  1. Authentic, actions focused climate leadership

  2. Closing the performance gap by mandating the validation and measurement of as-built performance for all existing and new buildings

  3. Addressing the skills, education and knowledge deficits that impact building performance 

  4. Healthy buildings for all Australians   

  5. Support the supply chain for “high performance” buildings  

6. Adopt a true efficiency first approach to mitigate the impact of climate change  

7. Address the cost-of-living pressure with adequate-quality housing stock for Australia’s most vulnerable 

8. Fast track the pathway to net zero building stock  

9. Retrofit first
