To foster and accelerate the growth of Australia’s bamboo industry, from cultivation to innovation, while advocating for the adoption of bamboo-based solutions in construction, textiles, biofuels, and more.
We believe bamboo is not just a sustainable alternative - it’s a better one. And its benefits go far beyond the surface:
At the heart of the BSA is a diverse collective: growers, conservationists, designers and architects, scientists and everyday bamboo enthusiasts - all united by a shared commitment to building a greener, more resilient Australia.
Bamboo isn’t just sustainable, it’s regenerative. It restores soils, filters water, mitigates erosion, and captures carbon more efficiently than most tree species. Our environmental work focuses on education, advocacy, and applied research to unlock bamboo’s full ecological potential.
We actively support research initiatives, field trials, and environmental impact studies - and work alongside universities, policymakers, and landowners to embed bamboo into climate mitigation strategies.

Promote all aspects of bamboo in Australia: cultural, ecological, scientific, and commercial, while celebrating its cultural significance both locally and globally.
Advance bamboo as a regenerative solution for Australia’s environmental challenges, including carbon sequestration, land restoration, biodiversity, and sustainable construction.
Increase public understanding of bamboo’s benefits and opportunities through education, training, and awareness campaigns.
Support research and development across academia and industry, and champion innovation in bamboo-derived products such as biochar, textiles, and construction materials.
Engage and educate decision-makers on bamboo’s environmental and economic value, while creating a thriving national network through events, webinars, and knowledge sharing.
