The Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) congratulates the Prime Minister on his appointment of Hon Jamie Briggs MP as Minister for Cities and Built Environment.
Our cities and urban communities represent the economic drivers of the nation: providing homes for millions, delivering and exporting our goods and services, creating jobs, providing centres of cultural and social exchange and a door to the rest of the world.
“Australia’s cities are engines of growth. Leadership and coordination at a Federal level is vital to delivering greater productivity, prosperity and a better standard of living” said Suzanne Toumbourou, ASBEC Executive Director.
“ASBEC and its members have long called for a Minister for Cities. We very much look forward to working closely with Minister Briggs to leverage the strengths of industry and every sphere of government in helping to deliver more productive, liveable and sustainable cities.”
