Mass Timber Construction Podcast Special Guests - Christina Wijeratne - Funding Mass Timber in Australia

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation is seeking to transform Australia's approach to large-scale building construction, with a new $300 million program to encourage mass timber construction across the property sector.  Why timber buildings?  Timber medium and high-rise buildings are growing in popularity across the world, offering a lower carbon footprint, fast build time and physiological benefits for the end user.  Innovations in engineered wood products have created new opportunities for mass timber construction in larger projects, with immediate and long-term environmental benefits. Eligible projects will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The program will be looking at projects that use low carbon engineered wood products in large-scale construction, have secured appropriate materials source, accreditation and embodied carbon outcomes, are commercially sound, and comply with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation investment policies, guidelines and risk approach. In this special guest episode, I speak with Christina Wijerante who is a Senior Investment Associate at the Clean Energy Finance Corporation as we talk about the scheme and how you can submit your project for review. Please enjoy the conversation with Christina.
