WestWyck News

Sustainable Buildings 08 is an international conference that has found its way to Melbourne, a real coup for the city and for Sustainability Victoria and its predecessors which have been arguing for a long time that Melbourne boasts some of Australia's most impressive sustainable commercial and residential buildings and that the city should be highlighting these.

SB08 attracted around 1500 attendees, 20 auspicing societies, $550k in sponsorship and a number of VIP speakers. Victorian Environment (& Climate Change) Minister Gavin Jennings officially opened SB08 with Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett on Monday 22nd September.

As part of the conference, a Melbourne Sustainable Building Tours model has been developed in preparation for SB08 and will continue after the event.
WestWyck was selected as one of the Melbourne sites.
