Australian Green Infrastructure Council rebrands as Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia
The Australian Green Infrastructure Council (AGIC) last year launched the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating scheme in Canberra. In addition to launching the scheme, delivering two rounds of IS Foundation Training and commencing infrastructure project ratings, the organisation also committed to a rebrand.
As of 4 April, AGIC has been renamed the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA). The rebrand goes beyond the name and includes a new website, www.isca.org.au.
In addition to this news, ISCA has also announced:
- The first IS rating will be announced soon.
- The IS scheme will be launched in Queensland on 18 April by the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, the Hon Andrew Cripps MP.
- A new membership model has been developed and is available online.
- The appointment of Menno Henneveld (recently the Commissioner for Main Roads Western Australia) as an independent director.
