Austcorp together with its JV partner YarraCity received a 5 Star Green Star – Office Design rating accreditation from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) for the design of its $50 million A-grade commercial building at 370 Docklands Drive.

For the first time in GBCA’s history a project has achieved a 5 Star Green Star – Office Design rating from the first submission. It won Austcorp and YarraCity a commendation for their willingness to fully adopt the GBCA initiatives increasingly adopted by sustainable sensitive developers and required by forward thinking commercial tenants.

“By achieving Green Star certification at the first round, this project truly understands, and has embraced, the holistic approach to Green Star. It indicates their whole team approach to creating a green building,” GBCA executive director David Craven said.
