Connecting you with the Natural Building Community

Natural Building Australia is carving out its place as the first truly nationwide platform dedicated to helping people get hands-on and immersed in natural building—whether you're an owner-builder, professional, or curious newcomer. Spearheaded by Rachel Goldlust, the site brings together a wealth of tools: a verified directory of professionals, suppliers, and consultants; an interactive events map; compelling feature articles, videos, podcasts, and online courses—all designed to make natural building practices accessible across Australia’s diverse climates.

At its heart, Natural Building Australia is driven by values of connection, community, and resilient design that resonates with both people and place. It aims to unite disparate building traditions—like straw bale, hempcrete, cob, and rammed earth—and create a robust central hub for information, networking, and industry growth. With tiered membership options (free, casual, and business) offering benefits such as event listings, directory profiles, and marketing support, the platform empowers individuals and businesses to amplify their impact and accelerate the adoption of sustainable, low-carbon building alternatives across the country.
