NEW CHAIR FOR GBCA

27 Nov 2012


The Green Building Council of Australia’s (GBCA’s) Board of Directors has elected a new Chair, Daniel Grollo.



The Green Building Council of Australia’s (GBCA’s) Board of Directors has elected a new Chair, Daniel Grollo.

Mr Grollo leads Australia’s largest privately-owned development and construction company, Grocon. He is the former National President of the Property Council of Australia, a non-executive director on the BlueScope Steel board, and has been a Board Director of the GBCA since its inception in 2002.

Chief Executive of the GBCA, Romilly Madew, says the organisation is delighted with the appointment. “Daniel has been a leader in Australia’s green building movement. Grocon is a well-established leader in green building practices, has 10 Green Star-rated buildings under its belt and many more registered. Daniel’s expertise and insights will be invaluable as we set an ambitious agenda for Australia’s sustainable future,” Ms Madew says.

“The Green Star rating system has completely transformed the skylines of Australia’s capital cities in only 10 years. With 518 Green Star-rated buildings around Australia, Green Star is now set to drive better sustainability performance in our suburbs, schools, shopping centres, offices, apartments, hospitals and industrial facilities. In the last few years, we have expanded our view of sustainability from buildings to communities, and from new buildings to existing buildings. I pay tribute to Tony’s contribution as Chair and I look forward to working with the GBCA’s inspiring team to reinforce Australia’s reputation as a world-leader in sustainability,” Mr Grollo says.

Mr Grollo takes over from NDY’s Global Director of Sustainability, Tony Arnel, who was chair for five years, and who will remain on the board as a director. Molly Harriss Olson, Director of Eco Futures, has retired from the board after six years.

“The strength of the Green Building Council of Australia is reflected in the strength of our leadership, and we thank Tony and Molly for their long-term contributions to our industry,” Ms Madew concludes.

Following the AGM, the GBCA launched ‘A decade in green building’ which examines the GBCA’s rise and achievements, and commemorates its 10th anniversary. The book can be downloaded from the GBCA website: www.gbca.org.au

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) is Australia’s leading authority on green building and communities. The GBCA was established in 2002 to develop a sustainable property industry in Australia and drive the adoption of green building practices. The GBCA has 700 member companies who work together to support the Council and its activities. The GBCA promotes green building programs, technologies, design practices and processes, and operates Australia’s only national voluntary comprehensive environmental rating system for buildings and communities - Green Star.
