New deal for urban Australia
ACF and nine other organisations have formed the Urban Coalition to advocate for a better deal for our cities and regions to make sure that our urban centres reflect the way we want to live and work into the future.
We are the caretakers for this beautiful country. We need to ensure we pass on a healthy Australia to our children and seize every opportunity to build a clean, green and safe environment.
Sustainable living
We work to protect Australia’s natural environment alongside sustainable solutions for our built environment.
The greening of Gavin
In September 2006, Gavin Webber had a green epiphany whilst watching the Academy Award winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Weird, but true.
GreenHome
GreenHome works with individuals, community groups and businesses to find local solutions to tackle global sustainability issues. Find out how we can work with you.
Creating sustainable cities
Imagine Australian cites as having exceptional public transport, low levels of pollution, locally produced renewable energy, ambitious energy and water conservation programs, a focus on local food production and a vibrant community-based culture. Let's make it real.
Clean, green transport future
If we’re going to insulate Australians from the impact of climate change, rising petrol prices and the transport needs of a rapidly growing population, a greater investment in public transport systems is essential. What are the challenges?
A national urban policy
In March 2011 the Federal government invited submissions on the development of a national urban policy. ACF’s submission focuses on the following as key elements for making our cities more ecologically sustainable and liveable.
Population and the environment
Human population growth is not only a significant threat to our quality of life, but to the very ecological systems that sustain our unique environment. If we make a commitment to pursuing and promoting policies that stabilise population and consumption levels, we can transform our economy and restore our precious biodiversity.
