Sustainable Environment Community Reference Committee (SECRC)

The Sustainable Environment Community Reference Committee’s (SECRC) principal responsibility lay in two parts. First, it was to advise Port Phillip City Council on the development and implementation of its environmental strategy. Second, to contribute to shared learning and activity. These contributions and advice were primarily to address ecological issues particularly climate change.

Bridget Puszka, from BP Architects, was a community member of this committee for the City of Port Phillip for ten years. She was involved in the development of the Soc’s and Blocks program. As a member of SECRC, Bridget advised on several Council’s Plans. They include the Plans and Strategies for Climate Adaptation, Water, Sustainable Transport, Bike, Walk and the Greenhouse Plan.
