Sustainable Communities Councils Program
Gould Group’s Sustainable Communities Councils Program worked with several Australian councils to support the vital role local government plays in creating sustainable behaviours in the community by integrating sustainability into the council's operations, culture and planning strategies and optimising the effectiveness of existing sustainability programs.
