About

Especially in these economically challenging times, sustainable practices such saving water, energy and reducing waste can translate into saving dollars, improving profits and growing your business.

This is the core of the SmartGreen program, which was developed by The University of Ballarat with the support of AusIndustry, the City of Ballarat and the Committee for Ballarat.

Our program has been designed to help you explore how restricted resources can actually create opportunities for your business. In short, our aim is to help your business achieve sustainable practices as well as profitable growth.
