Building with Nature

Tonsley, SA. Renewal SA. 6 Star Green Star - Communities v1.1.

Our buildings and communities have direct and indirect impacts on habitat, ecosystems and water quality, but together we have the opportunity to support the renewal of nature in our cities.

Discussion paper: A nature roadmap for the built environment

The Nature roadmap discussion paper evaluates environmental risks and opportunities, explores innovative concepts for nature regeneration, and underscores the collaborative roles required for success. 

Seeking industry input

We're calling on industry stakeholders to provide input on the forthcoming Nature Roadmap, which will play a pivotal role in guiding environmental management and nature regeneration efforts in and around our buildings and communities.  It's an opportunity for industry to play a role in how the built environment will respond to nature in the future, and shape how this will impact legislation and supply chains.

To provide your input, read the paper using the link below and complete a submission by 30th June 2024.

Upcoming webinar

Join us on the 11th April to learn more about the discussion paper and what it means for you. We'll explore:

  • The proposed principles that will guide the development of the roadmap
  • The key international frameworks and national legislation relevant to nature
  • Key issues that arise from the application of the principles, and likely legislative changes in the future to sites, surrounding environments, and supply chain.  

If you're unable to attend and would like a private briefing, please contact us.
