Rethink Ownership. Redefine Fitouts.
The way we design, deliver, and manage commercial spaces is quickly evolving. Products as a Service (PaaS) is emerging as a flexible, circular alternative to traditional procurement – shifting the focus from ownership to access.
Join us for a dynamic session exploring how modular furniture, lighting, and technology delivered as a service can provide adaptable solutions that evolve with changing needs – while addressing major environmental challenges like resource depletion and waste
What You’ll Learn
– Understand the core value of PaaS and its relevance to Green Star certification
– Explore how PaaS supports circular economy principles and ESG performance
– Discover real-world case studies showcasing successful PaaS fitouts
– Gain practical tips on choosing and assessing the right PaaS providers for long-term success
Featured Speakers
– Sasha Titchkosky – Co-Founder, Koskela
– Jonas Olander – Product Manager – Signify
– Guy Walsh, Sustainability Strategist – Living Edge
– Gabrielle Pavicic – Green Star Program Lead, Green Building Council of Australia
Stay ahead of the curve. Whether you’re a designer, project manager, or sustainability lead, this is your opportunity to gain the latest thinking on smart, service-based fitout strategies.
The need to embed social value into our built environment is more critical than ever. But we also need to define, measure and report on the value of the work and how it contributes to thriving communities and organisations. What does value look like? And how can this enable industry to make decisions which maximise benefits to all involved.
Join our speakers as we look to unpack example of social value, and tackle effective measurement. We will look at authentic collaboration and how to effectively work with stakeholders to lead to positive outcomes.
Themes to include:
-
How do we measure and report on social value
-
What does good look like?
-
How to work with internal and external stakeholders and communicate the value of social impact
-
What next steps must industry take
As demand in the data centre sector surges, this brings significant challenges to sustainability and in particular how energy requirements will be met. Join us as we examine the role of ESG in shaping the industry and what it could mean for wider industry.
Hear insights and examples on energy efficient design, procurement of renewable energy, water management and strategies to minimise embodied carbon in construction. In this session we’ll also look at the tracking of ongoing performance using ratings tools and, and the impact of this rapidly expanding sector on biodiversity.
We already know sustainability can’t be delivered without a team. The role of procurement is crucial to ensure the products and services we specify reduce environmental impact, support ethical labour practices, and help organisations meet their sustainability strategies.
In this session, you will hear from experts in sustainable, social and circular procurement, as they explore:
• the latest in industry practice, what ‘good’ can look like and how to improve outcomes
• how to embed circular strategies into procurement practices within your organisation
• how to meet procurement requirements within Green Star

Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming transportation, but their widespread adoption in the built environment in Australia depends on smart infrastructure investments and innovative support models. How can property owners, developers, and policymakers create a sustainable, future-ready environment for EV growth?
This session will explore global best practices and forward-thinking solutions to support Australia’s EV transition. Join us to hear about the key challenges facing industry, from the safe and cost-effective rollout of essential charging infrastructure to the role that EVs will play in the energy transition and strategies for long-term sustainability.
Discover how we can drive forward Australia’s EV future—efficiently, equitably, and sustainably.
Recognising the growing demand for heathier, energy-efficient apartments in Australia, GBCA have developed the Green Star Buildings Apartments Pathway, a roadmap to deliver healthier and more responsible apartments.
The Apartments Pathway is a new set of requirements and targeted credits within the Green Star Buildings rating tool tailored to deliver more sustainable multi-unit residential projects.
For the first time, the pathway will offer independent unit-level certification, giving buyers, banks and residents confidence that each apartment meets high performance standards.
Join us for an introductory webinar to gain insights into the development of the Apartments Pathway, its key drivers, features and benefits, and how it can create value for your next Green Star Buildings apartment project.
GBCA is excited to release the next version of Green Star Communities as a part of our Future focus program.
This update to the tool establishes a new benchmark for masterplanned precincts and communities, offering a robust and transparent pathway to deliver on environmental, social, and economic outcomes.
The rating tool provides a clear definition of a sustainable precinct and sets a pathway for low carbon, nature-focused outcomes.
Join this webinar to hear more about how the tool:
-
Establishes a new definition of sustainable precincts through a new category and credit framework
-
Drives future-ready infrastructure and buildings.
-
Delivers value across multiple precinct typologies.
-
Rewards outcomes through a flexible certification process.
Sustainable public places can have a profound impact on communities and the environment. Hear from leading projects as they unpack how they used Green Star rating tools and share practical lessons learnt. This session will cover everything from improving wellbeing and fostering community connection to reducing environmental impact and enhancing resilience.
Join us as we tackle:
– How do we rise to the challenges of designing sustainable public places?
– What can we learn from those leading this sector?
– How can we integrate best practices into future projects to achieve even greater outcomes?
Our speakers will share leading case studies:
– Carmel Reyes, Climate Action and Sustainability Manager, Powerhouse
Learn more about Powerhouse museum.
– Prue Edmunds, Sustainability Consultant, Arup
Learn how the Northcote Aquatic Centre reflects world leadership in sustainable design.
– Filomena Beshara, Sustainability Manager, Built
Be inspired by PHIVE at Parramatta Square.
– The role of regenerative design and how it can be measured in urban settings
There is widespread recognition of the need to connect with country and culture when planning for the built environment. However, there are knowledge gaps that require deeper understanding in order to achieving meaningful engagement and incorporate First Nations wisdom in the design and construction of our buildings.
This insightful webinar will explore how to ensure authentic first nations engagement is put into practice through the entire lifecycle of a project. By understanding the “WHY”, practitioners will be armed with the knowledge on how to get started and who to include in the consultation process.
Through short presentations and discussion, our speakers will explore issues such as:
· + Why First Nations engagement is so crucial to preserving nature, heritage and culture
· + Understanding the risks of leaving Indigenous consultation too late in the design process
· + The positive impact on nature and biodiversity
· + Learnings from successful projects that have demonstrated excellence in First Nations led design
