The Council Alliance for a Sustainable Built Environment (CASBE) is a collection of Victorian municipal governments committed to the creation of a more sustainable built environment both within and beyond their municipalities. The Alliance originally formed around the joint implementation, promotion and support of the Sustainable Design Assessment in the Planning Process (SDAPP) program.
The SDAPP Program currently operates in 11 Victorian local governments. Approximately 15 other councils have expressed interest in being involved or are currently works towards implementing SDAPP. The collection of participating councils from both urban and rural areas forms CASBE.
To facilitate a greater uptake of SDAPP throughout Victoria, CASBE provides support through Council briefings, resources, one-on-one support, example documentation, officer and industry training, and regular CASBE meetings, all included within a network of committed local government representatives. While the primary role of CASBE is related to the SDAPP program, the Alliance has also provided assistance to Councils in incorporating ESD into Council-managed buildings and capital works projects. Where further opportunities are identified, CASBE will assess its role and ability to assist in line with the groups' vision, strategic directions and resource.
