The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has announced that the exclusive principal sponsor for its Precinct Project has been confirmed as the Rock Development Group.

A joint initiative between the GBCA and VicUrban, the GBCA Precinct Project aims to develop a national framework for industry and government land agencies to deliver best practice for the development of communities and precincts. This means achieving positive environmental, cultural, social, governance and economic outcomes.

The GBCA Precinct Project will encompass residential, commercial and mixed-use development, and will inform the design and construction of new and existing communities.

It will equip developers with a framework to minimise the environmental impact of their developments and receive recognition for sustainable design.

GBCA chief executive, Romilly Madew says "This key sponsorship represents vital support needed to advance sustainable development. Together, we will work towards creating greener communities in which current and future generations can thrive."
