As industry leaders, we work closely with government and education institutions to share our expertise and resources to support sustainability and efficiencies to save owners corporations money. We also have our very own team of in-house NABERS for Apartment Buildings assessors and have appointed Tim Jarvis AM as our sustainability ambassador.
We have the expertise and partnerships in place to help achieve sustainability, increase building value, and open doors to potential savings.
We are thrilled by the NSW government’s recent announcement that it will incentivise the replacement of coal-fired power plants with renewable energy by 2042. PICA Group has already been making significant strides towards a more sustainable future in the strata industry.
64 strata buildings managed under the agreement will switch from existing coal-generated electricity plans to a green solar electricity plan, saving each building up to $60,000 annually and marking a significant reduction in their carbon footprint. This is just one of three exciting energy deals we recently secured, saving a total of 115 buildings more than $1 million in the next year.

As property owners and residents living in community living spaces, together we have a privileged opportunity to make a difference for our environment. By making the right committee decisions on the role our strata properties or homes have in the broader ecological, social and economic environment, we can enhance community living not only for today but for future generations too.
What is the strata industry’s role if Australia is set to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050?
Regardless of the debate on either side of the political grandstand, we look at the role that the strata industry can have in creating positive change.
