About

Emerge Associates played a pivotal role in securing a 5-Star Green Star Communities certification for the Burswood City project (formerly Belmont Park Precinct D) from the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) in August 2019. The certification, awarded under version 1.1 of the Green Star Communities framework, resulted from a collaborative effort between Emerge Associates, Golden Group and the project team.

To maintain compliance with the certification’s requirements over the five-year period until August 2024, Emerge developed an Implementation Plan outlining specific actions aligned with project delivery timeframes. These actions span construction, ongoing project management, preparation for the first residents, occupancy considerations, and the recertification process in 2024.

Acknowledging the dynamic nature of the project, Emerge facilitated commitments through submission documentation and a Letter of Commitment, adapting to the evolving planning and design stages. The document is organised into two sections: planned implementation actions and completed actions.

Emerge emphasises the importance of ongoing tracking, suggesting a regular review schedule and ‘check-in’ process with the Green Star Accredited Professional. This proactive approach aims to ensure efficient tracking, minimise potential delays, uncover value-adding opportunities, and optimise Golden Group’s investment in Green Star Communities certification as the project unfolds.
