Mornington Peninsulas ECO-Buy Commitment
Joined pre 2002 Purchasing policy developed
including waste minimisation, Energy Efficiency,
Climate Damage, Pollution and Ethical
issues Electronic purchasing system option to
choose green purchase Key achievements
Continual effort in fleet downsizing and
Biodiesel 513,257 spent 06/07 on energy
efficient appliances 270,000 spend on green
power all street lighting 100 green power
(Soon to be all Council energy contracts 100
green energy) ESD developed and under
approval Green purchasing guidelines developed
and implemented

• Developed by Centre for Design, RMIT in 2007the
  deliverables of the project were
• Designed to be used principally by maintenance
  contractor UMS and their subcontractors
• User-friendly and not require too much decision
  on the part of the user to choose the appropriate
  appliance/material
• Indication of the cost to implement. Assume that
  we currently choose "middle of the road"
  Australian products
• All products must be readily available on the
  Mornington Peninsula
• Products must be maintainable with parts and
  services readily available on the MP
• Consideration must be given to where products are
  made, embodied energy/water considered where
  possible

Application to ECO-Buy
Mission to increase awareness of Green Purchasing
commitment for staff and contractors Meets Buy
Recycled agenda in action plan Allows for
greater contractor compliance with Shire
commitment Process for tracking
Approved by Property user
Quote for Maintenance Requested from Shire
Contactor refers To product guide
Provides Quote to Shire Noting compliance
Quote accepted purchase Tracked in system

Limitations / Barriers
How easy is it to be green?

• Currently used as a guide/reference
• Price/availability
• Needs to be a living/control document
• Account for new technologies and discontinued
  models
• UMS greater coordination between Shire and
  Contractor to ensure an integrated response

Consistent, competitive quoting from
contractors High acceptance and environmental
awareness Easy to justify purchase under
compliance with guide
Benefits

• Developed by Michelle Leembruggen, Capital Works
  Program Officer in 2007the deliverables of the
  project were
• Designed to create a framework to assist in the
  Shires Greenhouse Gas emissions reduction
  targets of 35 by 2010.
• ESD will be incorporated into the project
  process from the initial scoping
• All new buildings are required to aim to be
  Green Star 5 Star and carbon neutral.
• Strategically the ESD conforms with the CCP
  commitment, ICCLEI Water campaign, Growing
  Victoria Together Vision, Towards Zero Waste and
  Our Environment, Our Future Framework
• Currently returned from Public Exhibition and
  final draft under review

Purpose
Mornington Peninsula Shire is committed to
reducing the environmental impacts of
buildings Building stock accounts for 85 of
current total corporate emissions Meet ICLEI
Targets CCP Energy, and Water
campaign Peninsula community 2 Million tonnes
CO2 / year Shire 9,600 tonnes CO2 / year
11
Background

• Identified lack of processes, guidelines or
  policies for new refurbished buildings
• CCP targets actions to address building stock
  on a project basis
• Capital works department together with Renewable
  Resources identified need for a consistent and
  accessible framework policy for building
  scoping and development
• ready point of reference

Target Audience

• Council Officers Infrastructure Maintenance
• Infrastructure Maintenance contractors
• Architectural and Engineering Consultants

Application
Green Purchases from the ESD checklist are
reported to the Shire Project Officer for EcoBuy
reporting

• ESD principles have been proposed through the use
  of a range of ESD tools including
• Green Star (Green Building Council of Australia)
• Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme
  (ABGR)
• Sustainable Design Scorecard (SDS)
• ESD Checklist ( MPS)

15
Where to now?

• ESD approval
• Green Energy contracts
• Waste Wise office auditallow to review waste
  streams and opportunity to track potential
  internal purchasing opportunities
• Many, many more opportunities
