The next three years are crucial as we transition to a low carbon economy and drastically reduce our environmental impact. The board plays a vital role in NZGBC's strategic focus. Ballot forms for this year's board election have been sent to your key membership person, and must be returned by Friday 20 November to count.
Fostering strong communities and creating liveable spaces is key to a low-carbon, healthy society, and something NZGBC is passionate about. That is why we’ve adopted a way of helping city planners, developers and communities from our mates over at the Green Building Council in Australia.
