Brereton said having a target for reducing carbon by five per cent will be a challenge, but one that is necessary for Australia to face.

“There is a view that the five per cent target wasn’t big enough... but I think this policy will be a good policy and that the five per cent target will be hard to meet.”

With clients in the local government and utilities space, Brereton said the company is beginning to branch out of Western Australia, with potential customers cropping up in New South Wales.

“Local governments see it as a responsibility to be green and sustainable,” Brereton said.

“... From a market develop point of view, we’re doing some interesting projects with utilities and electricity retailers.”
