Small Business projects

Vic 1000 Sustainable Business Project
The Vic 1000 project, for which Village Green received funding from the Sustainability Fund is being delivered across the NAGA region during 2007 and 2008.
The project involves working with groups of small businesses to create 'sustained behavioural change' in relation to sustainability while at the same time providing cost savings, increased community involvement and reduced environmental impact.

Business Energy Action
In 2003, NAGA received funding from DSE's Community Action Fund to deliver the Business Energy Action project, that focused on training community volunteers and council officers to enable them to undertake energy audits.
As part of the project, training sessions on audit techniques were provided to council officers, and subsequently 5 business energy audits were conducted in each of 6 municipalities. There was an average green gas reduction of 20% as a result of the project.
