One Planet Living® in Australia
One Planet Living is Bioregional’s vision of a world where everyone, everywhere can live happy, healthy lives within the natural limits of the planet, leaving space for wildlife and wilderness.
The One Planet Living framework is made up of ten easy-to-use principles that make it easier to plan, implement and communicate sustainable change. It can be used by anyone. For example, One Planet Living and the action planning process is used across a number of different sectors:
- Mixed use or residential precincts, apartments, eco-villages and housing developments
- Regeneration and heritage repurposed sites
- Companies and organisations
- Schools and campuses
- Local government regions, cities, towns and mainstreets
- Tourist destinations
Bioregional Australia – One Planet Living Training Program 2023

Our One Planet Living Program
This helps you use the One Planet Living framework to create a sustainability action plan, which is known as a One Planet Action Plan. The framework is highly flexible and can be used by any organisation or project – from new-build developments to businesses.
You can also gain recognition for your commitments to One Planet Living by having your action plan assessed as demonstrating national or global leadership. Becoming part of the BAF One Planet Living program is a three-year journey of discovery, training and support.
