We are committed to continue improving the life of Canberrans, working together with the community to bridge the gap between our resources and the functional needs of the community. We are the University of Canberra, the University for Canberra: a civic university.
'As older suburbs undergo significant renewal, many existing homes...are being knocked down to make way for new, poorly performing volume builds,' says University of Canberra associate professor & supermanoeuvre director, Max Maxwell.
'As architects, we need to transcend demonstration projects and deliver high quality inclusive and sustainable built environments for all,' says Australian Institute of Architects National President & Director, GHD Design, Jane Cassidy.
Join Jane and Max at Carbon Neutral Canberra #5 discussing architecture's and infrastructure's role in getting us to net zero by 2045, as legislated in the ACT Integrated Energy Plan 2024-2030. We're already world-leading as one of the few cities with net 100% renewable electricity. But there's more to do!
The Centre For A Better Canberra will produce policy reports, seminars and other events to drive advocacy in favour of a better city and region.
We will engage and connect with our community through direct engagement, stakeholder groups, politicians and community leaders, government agencies and businesses.

The University of Canberra is a place-based institution, committed to embedding the principles of civic and community engagement in all its activities. The University plays a critical role in building engaged communities: creating opportunities and spaces for people to come together with government, business, industry and community partners to collaborate, share information and ideas, and develop solutions to the key issues facing our region.
