Green infrastructure online resource launched

The Australian Green Infrastructure Council has launched its Knowledge Hub - a free online resource focused on sustainability in Australia’s infrastructure sector.

Professor David Hood, Chairman of the Australian Green Infrastructure Council, said that the new Knowledge Hub would provide a focal point for the latest developments in infrastructure sustainability.

“The AGIC Knowledge Hub will improve sustainability, productivity and innovation in the infrastructure sector,” he said.

“The AGIC Knowledge Hub will quickly become a valuable resource for the infrastructure sector,” said Professor Hood. “For the first time, national and international information about sustainability and green infrastructure will be freely available from one source for industry and researchers.”

Professor Hood said that the AGIC Knowledge Hub would include a resource library of best-practice case studies, discussion papers, reports, tools and checklists, and education information. It will also include an online discussion and wiki forum.

The Knowledge Hub will be launched by Matthew Brennan, Group Sustainability Manager with Tenix, who led its development.
