The Nature Design Guide

By October 20, 2025Biodiversity, Biophilic Design

The Nature Design Guide is a practical, industry-led resource created to help shape a Country-centred approach to nature-based design in the Australian built environment.

Collaboratively developed, the guide offers actionable nature-based solutions to help project teams, clients and partners embed nature outcomes and benefits at the heart of design on single building and precinct scale projects.

The guide provides guidance on key Country and Nature concepts, processes, a decision-making tool, and practical steps to help project teams embed Country and nature-positive outcomes into the design process. Featuring practical advice, the guide equips professionals designing new developments to do more than target the minimisation of harm, but instead to actively protect, regenerate, restore, and respect the cultural landscapes and natural world that sustains us all.
