The Brisbane Green Factor assessment tool
This copy needs work – A green factor assessment is a type of rating that is done at a project 'site' level, or more generally, a location with an address. It uses information and quantities of green infrastructure elements - like trees, shrubs, lawns and soil etc. - to determine a green factor rating. The tool is designed to capture only vegetation which is outside the building (however this includes courtyard areas for example which are open to sky).
Need copy here that speaks to the key users about how the tool captures the required data to return a Green Factor scorecard, and what that scorecard can then be used for, i.e. attachment to DA.
