At Wine & Dine'm, we've spent close to three decades catering for Brisbane's corporate community — which means we've also spent close to three decades watching businesses grow, move offices, downsize, expand, and everything in between. Through hundreds of corporate events across Brisbane City and beyond, we've seen first-hand how often sustainability targets sit at the top of the agenda, yet how few practical, on-the-ground solutions exist to actually meet them.
That's exactly why we wanted to use this month's Community Spotlight to introduce you to Project Net Zero (PNZ) — Australia's leading Indigenous-owned de-fit and make-good specialist, and a business we think every Brisbane facilities manager, office leader and sustainability champion should have on their radar.
Why We Love It
Project Net Zero exists to solve a problem most corporate offices don't realise they have: when a business relocates, renovates or closes a floor, the furniture, fittings and equipment left behind usually end up in landfill — not because anyone wants that outcome, but because there's rarely an easy, time-effective alternative on hand during a relocation.
PNZ built their entire business model around removing that excuse. They make the sustainable option the simple option, which is exactly the kind of practical, proactive approach to community and environment that we love getting behind.
What They Do
Project Net Zero offers a genuinely end-to-end service for businesses undergoing an office move, renovation or de-fit, including:
Corporate Relocations — full-service support for office moves, branch closures and store de-fits, handled with the same care as a fit-out itself
Asset Audits — a clear-eyed inventory of what's leaving the space, so nothing usable slips through to a skip bin by default
Rehoming & Donation — connecting quality pre-loved furniture and equipment with charities, schools and not-for-profits who need it
Recycling & Diversion — responsible processing for items that can't be rehomed, keeping them out of landfill wherever possible
Refurbishment Partnerships — extending the life of assets through repair and restoration rather than replacement
Reporting — transparent, measurable impact reports so businesses can quantify exactly what their move achieved for ESG and sustainability disclosures
It's a far more complete offering than a standard removalist or rubbish-clearance contractor, and it means a Brisbane business can tick the sustainability box and the logistics box in the same phone call.
100% Indigenous-Owned, With Purpose Built In
What sets Project Net Zero apart isn't just the service offering — it's who's behind it. PNZ is proudly 100% Indigenous-owned, led by a team with lived experience and professional expertise spanning the property, government, mining and finance sectors. That combination shapes every project: each one is designed to be efficient and ethical, and grounded in genuine community benefit, with a strong focus on cultural safety, economic empowerment and self-determination.
For us, that's the part of the story that elevates PNZ beyond a "sustainability vendor" and into something with real purpose. Every desk donated and every kilogram of waste diverted isn't just an environmental win — it's also a First Nations-led business creating meaningful opportunity, and that's a mission worth shouting about.
The Smart Choice for the Planet. The Easy Choice for Brisbane Businesses.
It's easy to assume the "sustainable" option is always the slower, harder one. PNZ flips that assumption on its head — and nowhere is that more relevant than for businesses based in Brisbane City.
Anyone who's coordinated an office move in the CBD knows the particular headache that comes with it: booking the single service lift in a shared high-rise, working around strata building hours, managing loading docks shared with a dozen other tenancies, and trying to get a removalist who actually understands commercial timelines rather than treating it like a residential job. It's a genuine logistical undertaking, often requiring far more time, labour and coordination than businesses expect going in.
Project Net Zero's relocation and removal capability is built specifically for this kind of environment. Their teams handle the access logistics, the timing, and the heavy lifting — meaning Brisbane businesses don't have to choose between doing the right thing for the planet and getting the move done efficiently. With PNZ, it's the same decision.
A Track Record Worth Talking About
Project Net Zero's impact to date speaks for itself:
1,500+ items donated to organisations and communities in need
100+ organisations supported across the country
Over 1.1 million kilograms of waste diverted from landfill
And they're not slowing down. PNZ's ongoing goal is to keep scaling that diversion figure — saving thousands more pieces of perfectly good, pre-loved office furniture from an unnecessary trip to landfill, one corporate relocation at a time. It's a genuinely measurable, growing form of impact, and one that any business partnering with them gets to share in through PNZ's own impact reporting. PNZ also extends this impact further through their community partnership program, connecting donated items directly with charities and not-for-profits, including First Nations-led initiatives, in need of support.
It's also no surprise who's already on board: PNZ counts major names like Westpac, KPMG, CommBank, BHP, Qantas, Origin Energy, Mirvac and Dexus among their corporate clients — proof that this isn't a small-scale side project, but a serious, trusted national operation with a genuine footprint in every capital city, Brisbane included.
Why This Matters to Us
We work with hundreds of Brisbane businesses every year, and sustainability isn't just a buzzword on a tender document anymore — it's a real, active part of how our clients plan events, choose partners and run their offices. We know the pressure to meet sustainability targets is real, and we know it's often easier said than done.
That's why we're proud to shine a light on businesses like Project Net Zero. Partnering with organisations doing genuine, measurable environmental and community good — and proactively seeking them out rather than waiting to be asked — is part of how we want to show up for our own clients and our city. It's also a direct reflection of our own sustainability commitments, which include a goal to onboard new Indigenous-owned suppliers and cultural collaborators as part of our broader environmental and community plan. If your business is weighing up an office move, renovation, or simply auditing what happens to old furniture and equipment, PNZ is an easy recommendation from us.
Quick Q&A
Why does it matter that Project Net Zero is Indigenous-owned? Because it means every project delivers a double impact — environmental and social. PNZ's Indigenous leadership brings genuine cultural safety, community connection and a self-determination focus to a sector that's traditionally been purely transactional.
We're a small office — is this only for large-scale corporate relocations? No. While PNZ partners with major national brands, their asset audit and rehoming services scale down just as effectively for smaller offices and single-floor renovations.
How does PNZ handle access issues in CBD high-rises? Their relocation teams are experienced in coordinating around service lift bookings, loading dock schedules and building management requirements — the exact friction points that make Brisbane City moves time-consuming for businesses to manage alone.
Can our business get proof of our environmental impact for ESG reporting? Yes. PNZ provides a formal Impact & Asset Recovery Report at the end of each project, giving businesses measurable data to support sustainability disclosures and CSR commitments.
How do we get started? PNZ's process begins with a simple discovery meeting, followed by a custom quote and logistics plan — making the first step low-commitment and easy to action ahead of an upcoming move or renovation.
