Clean:
Clean can mean contributing to a low carbon city, working towards cleaner air, and reducing, reusing and recycling resources as much as possible.
Green:
Green can mean growing our urban forests, creating more shade in neighbourhoods, enjoying shared outdoor green spaces, protecting enough bushland and parks to fill more than 13,000 Suncorp Stadiums and growing biodiversity to ensure Brisbane’s 35% natural habitat cover stays on track for 40%.
Sustainable:
Sustainable can mean choosing green transport options more often, being smart with how we use and enjoy water, designing Buildings that Breathe and neighbourhoods that embrace development that enhances our sub-tropical lifestyle.
