Climate resilience is the ability of social, economic, human engineered and natural systems to withstand and recover from hazardous climatic events while maintaining their core structures and functions. Climate change related hazardous events and associated risks are rapidly evolving.

Victoria’s planning scheme is not keeping pace.

A lack of coordination, continuity and investment in the best available data, inadequate integration of climate risk considerations and frankly the scheme’s inflexibility is hindering effective planning.

In this episode, HIP V. HYPE's Head of Better Cities & Regions and Director of Sustainability Gavin Ashley joins Dr Judy Bush, Senior Lecturer in Urban Planning, University of Melbourne; Jane Keddie, Director, Hansen Partnership; Prof Alan March, Professor in Urban Planning, University of Melbourne and Chloe Johnston, Manager - Infrastructure Advisory, Aurecon.

Join us for a live recording seeking to understand how our planning scheme can be better designed to adapt to the dynamic challenges of climate change to create a more resilient and prosperous future for all.

Australia needs more housing, period. This is especially important in the community housing sector, and we applaud the efforts of governments to increase funding and set targets to seek to address the dire shortage. Community housing is secure, affordable, long term rental housing managed by not-for-profit organisations for people on low incomes or with special needs. Providers are registered and regulated by the state government.

In seeking to rapidly increase supply, how do we ensure that the homes we build are optimised for high performance, reduced operational energy costs, improved health and comfort outcomes and increase resilience against impacts of climate change for the next 50-100 years…?

In this episode, Founder of HIP V. HYPE Liam Wallis joins Lucy Simms, Chief Commercial Officer, Women's Property Initiatives; Kathy Johnson, Managing Director at Yarraport and David Mahony, Head of Better Buildings and a Director of Sustainability at HIP V. HYPE to explore immediate action to optimise alignment between affordability and sustainability for community housing.

What are the barriers, what are the opportunities and where are our blind spots…?

The built environment is responsible for 37 per cent of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. As we look to the future of our buildings, cities and regions, innovative, high-performance, low carbon design becomes crucial to achieving a better tomorrow

In this episode, former Habitus editor Nicky Lobo joins Liam Wallis, Founder of HIP V. HYPE; Andrew Maynard, Director at Austin Maynard Architects and Simon Clark, Founder of the Sustainable Builders Alliance to unpack how genuine collaboration and capacity building can reduce impact whilst supporting exceptional outcomes.

How can finance be used to have a positive impact at scale?

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) is helping to cut carbon emissions by investing $10 billion on behalf of the Australian Government – in agriculture, cleantech innovation, energy generation and storage, infrastructure, property, transport and waste.

In this episode, Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE sits down with Liam Wallis, Director at HIP V. HYPE and Ryan Rathborne, Joint Head of Property at the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to discuss how clean finance can drive the shift to a clean energy economy.

Originating in Germany in 1992, the Passive House methodology provides for energy efficient homes that support healthy indoor air quality and year-round thermal and acoustic comfort. Certified Passive Houses are underpinned by the five Passive House foundational principles of appropriate insulation, no uncontrolled air leakage, mechanical heat recovery ventilation, windows that insulate and seal and no thermal bridges.

In this episode, Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE sits down with Clare Parry, Better Buildings Lead at HIP V. HYPE and Founding Chair of Passive House Australia, Marcus Strang, Senior Consultant in the Better Buildings team at HIP V. HYPE and Andy Marlow, Architect at Envirotecture to discuss how to design a Passive House.

Construction sites generate an enormous amount of waste.

Research from RMIT found that in 2017, 20.4 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste was generated in Australia. 33% of this waste went into landfills, with the rest either illegally dumped, stockpiled, recycled or reused.

What if instead of sending these materials to landfill, they can be salvaged and repurposed for a second life including as joinery and furniture.

Revival Projects is the only builder in Australia to hold domestic and commercial registration, whilst operating a 100% sustainable manufacturing facility, exclusively using recycled materials.

In this episode, Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE, sits down with Rob Neville, founder of Revival Projects and Liam Wallis, Director at HIP V. HYPE to discuss how the construction industry can better repurpose materials and embrace the circular economy.

With our ample solar and wind power resources, Australia has the opportunity to lead the global transition to a net zero carbon economy.

Transport currently contributes 17% of Australia's total carbon emissions, with internal combustible engine (ICE) vehicles responsible for around half of these emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs), when complemented by a diversified public and active transport system, are essential to reducing our emissions. However, at around double the cost of an average vehicle, EVs are beyond the reach of many Australians.

In this episode, Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE, sits down with Tim Washington, Founder at JET Charge and Charge Fox and Liam Wallis, Director at HIP V. HYPE to discuss how transitioning to EVs is critical to reducing our emissions, improving public health and driving the growth of a clean energy economy.

Victoria is expected to produce 40% more annual waste by 2046 than it did in the 2017–18 year. Strengthening our recycling system is critical, however it is not the panacea to our waste challenge. How can we reduce and reuse materials we consume before they produce carbon emissions, end up in landfill or pollute our environment?

In this episode, Laura Phillips, Head of Urban Advocacy at HIP V. HYPE, sits down with Kate Dundas, Director of Strategic Foresight and Research at Sustainability Victoria and Kate Nicolazzo, General Manager Sustainability at HIP V. HYPE to discuss how Victoria can transition to a circular economy.
