and academia , Green Star – Communities is one of the world ’ s first independent , transparent , national schemes designed to assess and certify the sustainability of large-scale master-planned development projects .
Green Star – Communities benchmarks developments against 38 credits in categories of Liveability , Economic Prosperity , Environment , Design , Governance and Innovation – with a rating providing independent verification that a community development is environmentally , economically and socially sustainable .
We are currently working with dozens of projects – from small inner-city infill sites to large greenfield developments that will one day be home to hundreds of thousands of people .
The first project to achieve a rating was Brisbane Airport Corporation ( BAC ), for its 2,700 hectare site which will eventually house more than 50 commercial office , mixed use , retail and industrial buildings .
