STOCKLAND has more Green Star-rated communities than any other developer in Australia.
The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) certified six new communities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Stockland has achieved 6 Star Green Star – Communities ratings, representing ‘world leadership’ in the design and delivery of sustainable precincts, for three projects at Willowdale at Denham Court in south west Sydney; Cloverton at Kalkallo in north Melbourne; and Calleya at Banjup in Perth’s south.
In addition, 5 Star Green Star – Communities ratings, equivalent to ‘Australian excellence’, were awarded for three projects at Altrove at Schofields in north west Sydney; The Grove at Tarneit in Melbourne’s west; and Newport in Brisbane’s north.
These certifications follow Stockland’s 6 Star Green Star – Communities rating for the Aura residential community on the Sunshine Coast, the largest mixed-use development ever undertaken under single ownership in Australia. Aura will eventually be home to 50,000 people.
“Stockland is leading the charge in its commitment to sustainable communities – and this leadership will transform the shape of Australia’s cities,” GBCA’s CEO Romilly Madew said.
Stockland CEO Mark Steinert said homebuyers are increasingly making informed decisions about the sustainability of new residential developments.
“The Green Star – Communities rating system uses a comprehensive scorecard to provides customers with a simple, straightforward means of assessing the sustainability of new communities.
“We’ve made a very conscious and concerted effort over many years to improve the sustainability of our supply chain, the location and design of our communities, and by providing tangible long term benefits for customers who choose to buy and build in a Stockland community,” he said.
