Green Star Fitouts

Green Star Fitouts is now in development

Consultation on the draft credits is now closed

We are thankful to all who contributed to the public consultation on the development of draft credits for the Green Star Fitouts rating tool. This rating tool will help guide the fitout industry in creating sustainable fitouts and getting them Green Star certified. Public consultation allows the industry to directly shape the development of the rating tool.

The Green Star Fitouts draft credits consultation paper is available for download below.

A recording of the Green Star Fitouts consultation briefing webinar is available here.

Based on feedback received during the public consultation period, GBCA and NZGBC will work to refine the credit details, and finalise the Green Star Fitouts Submission Guidelines and supporting resources. During this time, we will continue to engage with our Expert Reference Panels and will engage technical experts as needed. Details about timing for registration opening and more will be published in the coming months.

If you have any questions, feedback or insights to share regarding Green Star Fitouts, please reach out to consultation@gbca.org.au

GBCA is partnering with NZGBC on the delivery of Green Star Fitouts for use by both Australia and New Zealand based fitout projects.

Our vision

Green Star Fitouts aims to exemplify a new approach to designing, building, deconstructing and reusing fitouts. Our vision is to create fitouts that advance circular practices and are responsibly made, healthy and positive spaces for people.

Build less, build well, reuse more and think about the future impact

A place that is good for you, built responsibly and makes you want to be there

Fossil fuel free, highly efficient, powered by renewables and built with lower upfront carbon

The Green Star Fitouts rating tool (Green Star Fitouts) will rate the delivery of new fitout projects, rewarding decisions and actions that deliver great outcomes from pre-design through to handover.

5 key things to know about Green Star Fitouts:

  1. Delivers a new definition of sustainable fitouts
  2. Drives supply chain transformation, fostering a circular economy
  3. Supports the design of spaces that enhance occupant wellbeing
  4. Supports the achievement of Paris Agreement emission reduction targets for a lower-impact future
