A showcase office development, 2 Victoria Avenue is the first in Western Australia to achieve the Green Star certification ‘trifecta’ of Design, As Built and Interiors ratings. And, through the sustainable initiatives implemented and the achievement of Green Star certified ThE project ratings across all project phases, Stockland at A glANCE has delivered a ‘future-proofed’ asset that will deliver ongoing benefits through a 6 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 quality indoor environment and operational rating representing ‘World Leadership’ cost savings. in environmentally sustainable design When asked why it was so important 5 Star Green Star – Office As Built v2 for Stockland to achieve a Green Star and 5 Star Green Star – Office As Built rating for the development – Interiors v1.1 ratings representing a first in the Perth market – Stockland’s ‘Australian Excellence’ in Environmental Sustainability Manager, environmentally sustainable Greg Johnson, gives a simple answer. construction and interiors “Sustainability is embedded in The first development in Western our entire business and we have been Australia to achieve Green Star achieving Green Star ratings across a range As Built certification. 1 of sectors since 2008.

Now a relatively common feature in the Australian commercial office sector, at the time that 2 Victoria Avenue was designed greywater treatment had never been implemented in a commercial building within the Perth CBD. Through the successful installation of the system, 2 Victoria Avenue became the Western Australian ‘test case’ for greywater. Project ESD Consultant, Graham Agar of AECOM explains how the implementation of the system at 2 Victoria Avenue has paved the way for recycled water treatment within the Perth market. “2 Victoria Avenue was one of the first projects to achieve an approval in principal for the design of the system, but the first Perth CBD project to have the system tested, commissioned and approved for operation. The commissioning, testing and reporting procedure required to be undertaken is now well understood by both contractors and the Western Australian Department of Health, Energy Although the wind-turbine technology meaning future projects will benefit from The energy efficiency initiatives was not implemented, Johnson is proud of the lessons learnt at 2 Victoria Avenue.” at 2 Victoria Avenue, which include T5 the leadership that Stockland and AECOM lighting, sub-metering and motion-sensors, were able to demonstrate by incorporating IEQ zoned lighting, and active chilled beam air the turbines into the building’s design.
