3CBDs green program goes national

The program previously known as the 3CBDs Greenhouse Initiative, established in 2005 involving the City of Sydney, North Sydney Council, Parramatta City Council and the NSW Department of Climate Change, is going national to coincide with World Environment Day. The initiative is now known as the CitySwitch Green Office works with tenants to improve office energy efficiency. To date, 56 high profile organisations have committed to the program. Colliers International, which is joining the national scheme, received a five-star rating for its Parramatta office in October last year. Council will continue to encourage local businesses and residents to reduce their emissions.
