Dive into the innovations driving a greener built environment. The Sustainability Summit will explore cutting-edge materials, low-carbon construction methods, and forward-thinking policies shaping a more sustainable future for Victoria’s construction industry.
Gain access to hundreds of high-level speakers throughout two days of presentations, interactive panel discussions, fireside chats and training workshops.
Join us for "Resilient Melbourne: Preparing for Climate Change and Disasters," where experts will discuss strategies for enhancing urban resilience in the face of climate challenges. This panel will explore innovative building practices, infrastructure planning, and community engagement that can mitigate the impacts of climate change and natural disasters. Discover how proactive measures can create safer, more sustainable environments for all Melbourne citizens.
Join us for: "Harnessing Social Value in the Built Environment", where industry experts will explore how the built environment can create lasting benefits for communities. You will hear how industry leaders are embedding social value into their projects and learn about practical approaches to community engagement and inclusive design. Understand the role of construction and development in driving positive social outcomes and discover real examples of where social value has made a meaningful impact.
As the building industry moves toward net zero, professionals must balance multiple priorities—fire resilience, energy efficiency, and climate adaptation. But how do these goals align, and can they be achieved together in real-world projects? Designers are often tasked with meeting NatHERS targets that focus on operational energy and thermal performance. Yet, these requirements may sometimes conflict with efforts to enhance fire resilience or prepare for a changing climate.
In this session, experts in Passivhaus design and bushfire-resilient architecture will explore how to deliver buildings that are not only energy-efficient but also safer and more sustainable. Passivhaus buildings, with their airtight construction, filtered ventilation, and high-performance windows, offer proven benefits during bushfire season—limiting smoke infiltration and maintaining comfortable indoor conditions even in extreme environments.
Join us for "Chasing the Green Dream: How Circular is Your Business?" where industry leaders will discuss the principles of circular economy and their application in the construction sector. This panel will explore strategies for reducing waste, maximising resource efficiency, and promoting sustainable practices throughout the project lifecycle. Discover how embracing circularity can not only enhance your business model but also contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry.
