World first environmental rating for Melbourne's new Convention Centre

The new Melbourne Convention Centre has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star environmental rating, the first in the world for a convention centre. The 6 Star Green Star environmental rating was awarded by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) under its Green Star - Convention Centre rating tool for the convention centre's innovative environmental design and operational features. A 5 Star Green Star rating signifies Australian excellence but a 6 Star Green Star rating stands out as setting new global standards for a convention centre.
