BRISBANE Airport Corporation (BAC) has been awarded Australia’s first Green Star – Communities rating for the entire 2,700ha Brisbane Airport site, by the Green Building Council of Australia.
The Brisbane Airport site will eventually house more than 50 commercial office, mixed use, retail and industrial buildings, and has achieved a 4 Star Green Star – Communities rating under the PILOT version of the rating tool.
“We applaud Brisbane Airport Corporation’s landmark achievement, with a 4 Star Green Star rating representing ‘best practice’ for a master-planned development in Australia,” GBCA CEO Romilly Madew said.
“This is an enormous achievement not just for BAC, but for the people of Brisbane, who now have independent proof that the airport precinct is being planned and designed to deliver environmental, economic and social sustainability,” Madew addsed.
BAC CEO Julieanne Alroe said the group has worked hard to achieve the first Green Star – Communities rating.
“This achievement gives us reassurance that we’re on the right track and further encourages us to do even more for sustainability so that Brisbane Airport is regarded as a world leader in this space,” Alroe said.
