Green buildings: Should the onus fall on developers and the public?
Brisbane City Council’s latest solution to the climate crisis: an incentive to develop sustainable buildings. These climate-sensitive design practices may be the future but at what cost? What climate-burden are these green buildings carrying and are they damaging to the public purse?
In September 2020, the Brisbane City Council introduced a new 50 per cent rebate on infrastructure charges for new residential and commercial buildings that were green and energy efficient. These sustainable buildings are self-sufficient, orientated to save energy and reduce costs; surrounded by green facades, green rooftops, and green walls, which aim to combat the rise in emissions and work with Brisbane’s subtropical climate.
