Your go-to trusted person for sustainability partnerships

When you need to create sustainability roadmaps, and make inroads into business-government relationships, you don’t go it alone. Amanda Choy is your thought partner in delivering real results for both councils and businesses.

About me,
Amanda Choy

I bring more than a decade of hands-on leadership in sustainability partnerships and have cultivated a diverse, rich network spanning businesses, local governments, chambers of commerce, industry organisations, community groups, and social enterprises.

I have nurtured a diverse network of local businesses and community leaders over 10 years.

I built and managed a comprehensive online sustainability assessment system spanning nine key topic areas to give local businesses a practical tool to encourage and incentivise measurable progress and continuous improvement in their operations. This tool also enabled councils to measure their Net Zero targets more accurately within their local government area (LGA).

I am highly adept at making meaningful introductions that unlock fruitful collaborations and enduring relationships, by quickly getting to the heart of what drives people and organisations.

Your sustainability thought partner

I have significant experience in community engagement, delivering a full spectrum of business events, from curated networking sessions, through to industry expos, conferences, workshops, and local award programs.

With topical sustainability themes such as pathways to net zero, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, circular economy, waste reduction and resource recovery and practical sustainability actions that local businesses could participate in, these series of events brought local businesses and government together for collaborative conversations that sparked lasting connections.

My values

Clarity over jargon

Sustainability shouldn’t feel confusing or full of buzzwords. I translate complex ideas into clear, practical language so decision-makers, teams and local businesses can understand what matters, feel confident in their role, and take meaningful action without overwhelm.

Partnerships over preaching

Real change happens when people feel heard and involved. I work alongside councils, businesses and communities as partners - listening first, understanding what’s realistic, and co-designing solutions that fit the people and place they’re created for.

Long-term over short-term

I believe meaningful impact only lasts when organisations are financially strong. The businesses and councils I work with need solutions that are not only good for people and the environment, but also economically viable. When those elements work together, outcomes are built to last.

Progress over perfection

Real change rarely starts with perfect conditions. I believe in helping councils take practical, achievable steps forward so they can build momentum through action rather than waiting for every detail to be resolved. I believe that progress creates learning, confidence and internal support, making it easier to grow initiatives over time and turn ideas into lasting outcomes.

My partnership approach

What sets Amanda apart is her calm, pragmatic style honed across multiple councils. Where others see silos, Amanda creates synergies by her excellent listening and natural creative problem-solving approach.

Amanda starts every engagement with a tailored diagnostic, mapping your current state, strengths, and realities to avoid duplication and ensure stakeholder buy-in from the outset.

Councils facing resource constraints turn to her to create highly effective programs that engage local businesses without overwhelming already-stretched teams.

Medium-sized enterprises rely on her to simplify Greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, align executive goals, and roll out team training to embed gains over the longterm.
