Bringing us one step closer to general launch, we are pleased to advise that Green Star Performance Online is now live for our Early Access Partners. We are working closely with the six GBCA member organisations to test the platform on Green Star Performance v2 portfolios in real time in this initial launch of Green Star Performance v2 Online into our production environment.
A new certification fee structure will apply for Green Star Performance when registrations open. To assist teams with forward planning the new certification fees which will apply for Performance v2 portfolios have been published on our website on the certification fees page.
Existing users should note that the current fee structure for Performance v1.2 portfolios will expire at the end of the year. From 1 January 2025 onwards, the new fee structure will apply to all portfolio regardless of which version of the rating tool it is registered under.
If you have any specific questions regarding a new or existing portfolio, please contact the Market Engagement team to discuss your transition to Green Star Performance v2.
Email the team hereIt's been a busy few months for the Green Star team as we saw a record number of submissions over the last six months. While this is incredibly exciting for the growth of Green Star rated projects in the industry, you may have experienced some delays in receiving your results - we are all so grateful for your patience.
We are seeing new projects coming from a range of sectors and we are always looking for ways to support you. In the meantime, we have a new page to assist you in promoting your Green Star project. Here you can read our guidelines for marketing your Green Star rated Building, as well as all our other tools. Promoting your project lets stakeholders and customers know that you are engaging in the movement for a better future, with healthier, more responsible spaces – something we know more and more people are looking for in buildings and businesses. If you have any questions about promoting your Green Star project, please contact us.
To improve scalability we are continuing to work on refining access to information on our website, and that includes our case studies. This page features certified projects through in-depth discussions with the project teams involved.
These are just some of the ways address the feedback we receiving in our Annual Green Star Satisfaction survey.

Green Star project teams are advised of a recent change to the Climate Positive Pathway requirements for 2030.
Currently in Green Star Buildings v1, projects certified after 1st January 2030, regardless of the project's registration date, are required to meet the Climate Positive Pathway requirements (see page 19 of the Submission Guidelines).
The GBCA has revised this milestone so that instead, projects that reach practical completion after 1st January 2030 are to meet the 2030 Climate Positive Pathway requirements, regardless of the project's registration date.
Projects that reach practical completion before 1st January 2030 are subject to the Climate Positive Pathway requirements as per the project's registration date. These projects may submit and be certified by the GBCA after 1st January 2030.
Future versions of the Green Star Buildings Submission Guidelines will be updated to reflect this change. In the meantime, project teams can refer to FAQ F-00372 Changes to the Climate Positive Pathway requirements for 2030.
Should you have any questions about how this change impacts your forthcoming Green Star projects please contact the GBCA Market Engagement email via or your assigned Technical Coordinator for already registered projects.
Our upcoming annual roadshow is your chance to further your knowledge on Green Star. The agenda has been released and it's not one to miss.
