What you need to know

Join Brad Crowley, Senior Manager of Commercial Buildings at the NZGBC, Veronique Largier and Oliver Grimaldi from Cundall, as they walk through how Green Star Communities can facilitate positive growth.  

Oliver and Veronique will delve into their experience on projects in Australia and New Zealand, from university campuses to Kiwi Property's Drury Project.

The session will address how designing for sustainability and liveability issues at the precinct scale creates an opportunity to go beyond the building. The tool addresses other issues such as public realm and amenities, sustainable transport and walkability, integrated water management, and place and community development. 

A Q+A session will close out the webinar with Brad, Veronique and Oliver answering any queries you may have about the application of Green Star Communities in the Aotearoa market.  

You’ll hear from: 

  • Brad Crowley, New Zealand Green Building Council
  • Oliver Grimaldi, Cundall
  • Veronique Largier, Cundall
