Yitpi Yartapuultiku is now the second building in Australia to receive 6 Star Green Star certification from the Green Building Council of Australia

Representing “World Leadership” in environmentally sustainable design, construction, and operation, it is the highest honour in Australian sustainable development.

  • 33% reduction in upfront carbon through low-carbon and responsible materials
  • 99% reduction in potable water through use of rainwater and recycled water for irrigation
  • Strong focus on indoor environmental quality and connectivity to the outdoors, supporting health and wellbeing
    ‘Living Shoreline’ - an innovative example of restoring the river and natural habitat while protecting the site from erosion and sea-level rise
  • ‘Healthy Country Plan’ - cultural and scientific guidance on how to care for the site to support long term stewardship, strengthen cultural connections and ensure wellbeing of land, water and community for the future
