Arup in Australasia worked on more Green Star certifications than any other consultancy in 2016, with a total of 11 for the year.

Amongst these projects is a portfolio of six developments we took through certification with Stockland Development Pty Ltd. An Australian first, all six went through certification at the same time in just six months.
