Objectives of the Conference

This years conference will be building on the growth and considerable momentum that we have developed over the past 4 years since Green Roofs Australia Inc was established as the peak, not for profit green roof and wall association.

The primary objectives of this years conference are to support the green roof and wall industries in Australia and New Zealand:

• Focus on driving green roof and wall implementation
• Supporting different sectors and disciplines to share an appreciation of their benefits and application for our climate
• Demonstrating the technological and environmental benefits, sharing and disseminating good practice and promoting the implementation of green roofs and walls into our cities

We look forward to seeing you at the conference 20-23 October 2010 and sharing in the opportunities and growth of this exciting new industry. It’s with your support that Green Roofs Australia can continue to support this technology and its future.

'Action on climate change will create significant business opportunities, as new markets are created... These markets could grow to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars each year, and employment in these sectors will expand accordingly.’ The Stern Review
