GBCA's strategy sets out our plan for addressing the global risks that climate change presents
We focus our work through four key pillars which support our vision of healthy, resilient and positive places:
We rate
We rate the sustainability of buildings, fitouts and communities through Australia’s largest national, voluntary, holistic rating system – Green Star.
We educate
We educate industry, government practitioners and decision-makers, and promote green building programs, technologies, design practices and operations.
We advocate
We advocate policies and programs that support our vision and purpose.
We collaborate
Our members are key enablers in supporting us to achieve our strategic objectives. We represent more than 650 members, comprising over 400 small-to-medium enterprises and 27 companies listed in the ASX200.
Our five priority focus areas to address the global risks presented by climate change are:
Social infrastructure
Working with governments to embed Green Star into social infrastructure and for local governments to mandate Green Star.
Homes
Embedding Green Star Homes into the market and working with industry, builders, banks, insurers and governments to lift the standard of homes.
Carbon
Advocating for all buildings to be aligned with our Climate Positive Roadmap: new buildings net zero by 2030 and exiting buildings well before 2050.
Circular economy and products
Delivering healthy, zero carbon, low impact materials ready for a circular economy through Green Star and our Responsible Products Framework and product directory.
Green Star evolution
Continuing to deliver and embed the updated Green Star tools through Future Focus.
