The Australian building industry is facing a critical turning point—balancing performance, affordability, and sustainability in the face of climate change and rising material costs. Enter hemp-based construction: a regenerative, low-carbon solution that’s gaining serious momentum.
The Hemp-Connect Forum, taking place 25–27 June 2025 at the AgriBio Centre, La Trobe University (Melbourne), is Australia’s premier event for builders, architects, engineers, certifiers and developers curious about bio-based materials and how to apply them in modern construction.
