Green Star Communities: Lessons from Australia
Green Star Communities helps guide and assess the planning, design and construction of large-scale development projects including precincts, neighbourhoods and entire communities.
It helps everyone from property developers through to policy makers to assess and promote the development of sustainable communities against best practice sustainability benchmarks.
In New Zealand, we're seeing projects such as Hamilton City Councils' Peacocke development and Kiwi Property's Drury town centre using Green Star - Communities to deliver lower carbon, more human-centric, healthier communities.
In Australia, over 50 Green Star Communities projects have been certified from airports to university campuses, greenfield residential projects to mixed use urban regeneration areas.
Listen back to this webinar with Karen Greaves from Lendlease and hear the advantages Lendlease sees in applying this tool to development of greenfield master planned communities. Karen will share her insights based on the certification and recertification of 10 projects throughout Australia, including which credits are commonly targeted, lessons learnt over the years and some tips and tricks to get around commonly encountered problems.
