New Green Star submission platform
GBCA says its online submission platform for Green Star Fitouts and Buildings v1.1 is now live, and project teams can use it to prepare and lodge submissions. This points to a planned shift toward a smoother digital process for certification work in the near term.

Green Star Interiors transition
GBCA says that from 1 October 2026, new projects will need to register under Green Star Fitouts instead of Green Star Interiors v1.3. This is a planned change to the rating system, showing that GBCA is moving projects onto a newer tool.
