The University submitted an entry in Category 4 - Government & Essential Services, and was successful in reaching the final four entrants in that category. The University was presented with a finalist’s plaque at the Awards night in Canberra on 14 September. The Awards night was attended by around 200 of the 700 members of the Greenhouse Challenge Plus program, which provided an excellent opportunity to promote the University's efforts in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 17% over the last five years.
