2010 Sustainability Forum
Commercial Heritage Buildings & Sustainability Forum
On 18 November 2010 the QHC, in conjunction with QUT Institute for Sustainable Resources, coordinated a national forum to explore the issues surrounding the conservation of commercial heritage buildings and sustainability.
About 130 industry professionals from across the country attended the forum where speakers from both the private and public sector presented data and case studies about making heritage buildings sustainable.
The Heritage Council, in conjunction with the Department of Environment and Resource Management, will now reflect on the outcomes of the forum and determine what actions need to be progressed.
