In March 2026, TRANSFORM will return to Sydney, uniting sustainability leaders and practitioners from across the built environment.

It was once said that change is the only constant. For those working in construction and the built environment, that reality is playing out every day on site, in procurement decisions and across planning and approvals. From climate commitments and policy reform to shifting expectations and community needs, the industry is navigating a landscape that is more complex and more consequential than ever before.

For Australia’s construction sector, these shifts bring both complexity and opportunity, demanding deeper collaboration and a shared sense of direction that is both innovative and fair for the community and environment.

This is where the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) comes in. GBCA is the national organisation behind Green Star, a framework for measuring and improving the performance of buildings across energy, carbon, water and materials. GBCA works with builders, developers, engineers, asset owners and governments to lift performance in ways that are practical, measurable and scalable.

TRANSFORM 2026 is GBCA’s flagship industry event, bringing construction and property professionals together to address issues from climate change and keeping Australia on track for a 1.5°C pathway to nature positive initiatives, circular design and material innovation. Now in its eighth year, TRANSFORM 2026 invites industry to confront the realities facing the built environment, nature and people globally.

The event will tackle critical and emerging issues, from climate change to net-zero transformation.

Attendees can expect to:

  • Hear the latest insights through panel discussions, case studies and working groups enabling transferable knowledge and applicable solutions.
  • Attend pre-event workshops on emerging issues, such as data centres and refrigerants, and post-event site tours allowing you to see sustainable principles in practice – a new addition in 2026.
  • Stay abreast of critical and emerging issues, from climate change to net-zero transformation.
  • Be part of the conversation that is driving meaningful change, share experiences and gain fresh perspectives.
  • Be in the room where new connections are made with more than 600 professionals, all with the common goal of driving change and sustainable outcomes across the industry.

Key sessions in 2026

Among the agenda, there are key sessions not to miss in 2026.

The leaders’ panel will explore what boards and executives are prioritising now, and what that means for future projects, materials and delivery models. Speakers include Buildcorp principal Josephine Sukkar AM, Sydney Markets CEO Anthony Boyd, former NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces and Anglicare group executive for housing Rob Stokes, and GBCA CEO Davina Rooney.

Dr Jefa Greenaway, founding director of Greenaway Architects, will present a keynote looking at the intersection between Country-centred design and the built environment. The session will look to demystify some of the trepidation around early engagement with First Nations people and demonstrate successful outcomes of Indigenous-led design through various project typologies.

Tim Bush, global sustainability principal of data centre engineering at Amazon Web Services (AWS), will look at how AWS, a global developer of data centres, is approaching the embodied carbon of its buildings and equipment. The session will explore how AWS is working to leverage its scale to gain a deep understanding of decarbonisation pathways, influence industry trajectories and then channel low-carbon materials into its supply chain.

Adding to the line-up, Sentinel managing director Keith Lucas, Mirvac general manager of build to rent Angela Buckley, and GBCA senior manager of buildings, precincts and homes Nick Alsop (as moderator) will present a panel on advancing sustainability in the build-to-rent sector.

Shaping the future

The world is changing quickly and unevenly, and the construction sector sits at the centre of that change. TRANSFORM brings together those committed to shaping places that are future-ready, recognising that decisions made in these critical years will shape the resilience and liveability of the built environment for decades to come.
