Thank you to the waste team at Hamilton City Council for hosting us at the Waikato Construction Safety & Well-Being Forum. We were able to share some of the work we are doing on The Waste Project with Sentinel Homes Waikato and Hamilton City Council. It is exciting times for the industry as more companies get on board with sustainable practises in the Construction Industry.

The new Government may not have won itself any friends when it described the grey belt as "ugly" - but it's right. These are sites - about 11,000 of them - within the green belt that effectively let the green belt down, and are ripe for development. But there's an even uglier prospect in view - which is that the Government risks building 1.5 million non-sustainable houses on these sites. It's all to do with a recent report into construction competence in key sustainability disciplines like engineering services - and you can read more in our short article ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dxbZe2Cj #greenbuilding #buildingdesign #greenbuildings #greenbelt #skillsshortage

In sustainable construction, we often face difficult choices and make pioneering decisions. Here's something to ponder: How can we structure procurement strategies to meet immediate project needs and significantly contribute to long-term sustainability goals and environmental stewardship in the construction industry? I look forward to collaborating and learning from your insights and solutions. Together, let's build a greener future! 😀 #SustainableProcurement #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendlyConstruction #InnovationInConstruction

Environmental concerns in the construction industry: The construction industry poses significant environmental concerns, including air pollution from dust emissions, water pollution from chemical contaminants, and land pollution from soil contamination. Noise pollution, climate change, and waste management issues also arise from construction activities. Resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and health impacts like respiratory issues and cancer are additional concerns. To mitigate these issues, sustainable practices like using sustainable materials, energy-efficient designs, waste reduction, recycling, green infrastructure, environmental impact assessments, and regulations are crucial. Adopting sustainable construction methods benefits the environment, reduces costs, improves public health, enhances brand reputation, and ensures compliance with regulations.

The NSW EPA Protection of the Environment Policy (PEP) for Sustainable Construction is now open for public consultation https://lnkd.in/gFmRvUQg. The PEP will seek to reduce upfront carbon emissions, in line with the requirements of the NSW Government Decarbonising Infrastructure Delivery Policy, and promote circular economy outcomes in major NSW Government infrastructure projects.
Future hospitals, schools and road projects are set to lower carbon emissions and promote a circular economy under the proposed Protection of the Environment Policy for Sustainable Construction. Under the proposal, NSW Government agencies will need to report on how they are decreasing emissions and prioritising recycled construction materials, applying an ‘if not, why not’ approach to justify decisions. Infrastructure NSW Chief Executive Tom Gellibrand says, “Embedding sustainability into our major infrastructure projects and across the supply chain will enable us to deliver significant emission reductions and is a key step to achieving Net Zero.” Our CEO Tony Chappel echoed those thoughts, “NSW is leading the nation in setting a consistent approach to managing and measuring embodied emissions. Close collaboration between industry and government ensures that we reduce our carbon footprint and continue to deliver high-quality public infrastructure for the State.” Share your feedback by 2 April 2025 - https://lnkd.in/gvbjTEZw
