Green Star FAQs
Do state and territory capital cities require verification as 'major cities'?
No. For the 18.2B Proximity to a Major City pathway, the following state & territory capital cities do not require project teams to provide verification of the major city designation against the current list of Major Cities from the most up to date publication from the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development & Cities:
- Adelaide
- Brisbane
- Canberra
- Darwin
- Hobart
- Melbourne
- Perth
- Sydney
Project teams do however need to demonstrate they are within 5kms of the city CBD as required by the credit criterion.
