Governor is appointed as Melbourne Transformation Cluster Patron [12.02.2010]
The Committee is pleased to announce Professor David de Kretser, AC, Governor of Victoria, recently accepted an invitation to be the Patron of the Melbourne Transformation Cluster, an initiative of the Committee’s Higher Education and Climate Change Taskforces.
The Cluster will provide a mechanism to create action for major projects to transform greater Melbourne into a more sustainable city. Members will be drawn from the business, academic and government sectors. They will work together to identify key project proposals, apply best practice and ideas, identify and address barriers and thereby clear the path to the delivery of actual projects.
Through the Cluster, opportunities will evolve to demonstrate our R&D and delivery capabilities, to try out new ideas for a sustainable Melbourne and to create new opportunities to export services and expertise to other projects in Australia or overseas.
