The National Green Leasing Policy is the first nationally consistent approach by the Australian, State and Territory governments, as tenants of buildings, to drive a reduction in the environmental impact of buildings through improved operational performance.
This Policy was developed under the auspices of the Australasian Procurement and Construction Council (APCC) and the Ministerial Council on Energy (MCE).
This Policy facilitates environmentally beneficial practices and outcomes associated with the leasing of buildings, through the use of a Green Lease Schedule.
It provides guidance and information for a collaborative approach to improve operational performance. This Policy sets performance targets (which individual jurisdictions may elect to exceed) and it outlines the requirements of building owners and government tenants.
These targets and requirements will be implemented by individual governments through their respective legal and policy frameworks and the use of appropriate Green Leasing tools and instruments that are to be developed with due regard to the principles set out in this Policy.
