Walker Corporation’s Parramatta Square has been awarded 6 Star Green Star ratings for its first two towers.
Executive Chairman Lang Walker says the vision for the $3.2 billion development has sustainability at its core.
“The awarding of the 6 Star ratings is an important statement for major corporates seeking state-of-the-art environmental features combined with cost-effective, premium grade office space with fast transport at the doorstep,” says Walker.
“Parramatta Square is an example of our commitment to collaboratively deliver vibrant office and public spaces, as well as a range of amenities, both for the 30,000 workers who will be working every day in Parramatta Square on completion as well as the entire Western Sydney community.”

Bernborough Ascot, a $270 million development located at Doomben Racecourse, is set to be Australia’s most sustainable retirement community after securing the first 6 Star Green Star Communities rating from the Green Building Council of Australia in the aged living sector.
Developed by Lendlease, the community is being constructed in stages, with the first stage - that opened in October 2020 - receiving the rating for its sustainable design.
Nathan Cockerill, managing director of Lendlease Retirement Living, says that residents of the village will reap the rewards of a sustainable community that is setting a benchmark for its competitors.
“Bernborough Ascot residents will benefit from the sustainability measures we’re delivering – not just in terms of driving down energy and water bills but also the lifestyle and health outcomes from living in such a green community. Bernborough Ascot will certainly set a new benchmark for Lendlease retirement living project

Designed by FJMT Architects, the Melton Library and Learning Hub is the first library in Australia to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star - Public Building Design PILOT rating by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).
Prodema facade panels in ProdEX Pale colour were specified for the project to address the building’s focus on sustainable design and energy efficiency.
Manufacturing exterior facade panels with wood veneer, Prodema is also one of the very few to launch ‘friends with nature’ and hold a PEFC certificate. Prodema’s green credentials support all matters related to sustainable forest management and guarantee that the wood used to manufacture ProdEX panels is sourced from environmentally and sustainably managed forests.
