Testimonial from Kerry Shepherd of Landmatters for the EcoVillage at Currumbin - overall winner of the 2006 the department Sustainable Industries Award for Leadership in Business Sustainability, and winner of the Sustainability in Urban Development or the Built Environment Award.
"Winning the department's Sustainable Industries Awards has really helped our business and our vision - to inspire the development industry to take up the sustainability challenge. The exposure that winning this award has generated means that we frequently have private developers and local council officers visiting our Interpretive Centre to find out what the environmental best practices are. The response has been so positive that recognition by the department for our efforts means that these visiting industry representatives now pay for our consultation services. It is very heartening. The increased exposure has also helped us generate more sales. If you're building your business with sustainability as a foundation, I encourage you to apply for the department Sustainable Industries Awards."
