Local Government Super (LGS) has again been rewarded for its work into sustainable development after Carnegie Morgan House won the Australian Property Council Award for the best sustainable development of an existing building.
LGS expects the $160 per square metre project to deliver lower running costs and more satisfied tenants, leading to greater returns for fund members.
LGS Super's upgrade reduced the building's total energy consumption by 54 per cent, making it the lowest energy-intensive CBD building in Australia, LGS said.
The property in Sussex Street Sydney was the first building in Sydney's CBD to receive a five-and-a-half star NABERS energy rating.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
