Australasian Green Infrastructure Network

What Australasian Green Infrastructure Network does

AGIN is a not-for-profit industry association, registered as a company limited by guarantee and ACNC-registered charity, that serves as the peak body for green infrastructure practitioners across Australia and New Zealand. Its mission is to advance nature-based infrastructure—plants, soil, and water systems delivering ecosystem services in urban environments—by connecting professionals, advocating for policy, and curating knowledge. The organization does not develop proprietary technology; instead, it operates a digital platform comprising a website-hosted Resource Library, Project Library, Public Member Directory, and mailing list, supplemented by in-person and virtual events. Core products are tiered memberships (Corporate AUD 500-1,000, Academia AUD 400, Non-profit/Government AUD 350, Professional AUD 120, Concession AUD 50) and sponsorship tiers (Platinum AUD 10,000, Gold AUD 5,000, Silver AUD 2,500, Operational Partner), with revenue billed annually on a subscription basis.

The organization is governed by a volunteer board and management team, transitioned to a company limited by guarantee structure in May 2024, and is pursuing charity status to unlock grant funding. It chairs the National Urban Green Infrastructure Roundtable (NUGIRT) Standards Task Force—a coalition of 12 peak industry bodies—and has secured approval from Standards Australia to develop Part A - Green Roofs, the first national Green Infrastructure standard in Australia. Strategic partners include WGIN (World Green Infrastructure Network) for international access, ClimaSens and Office of Planetary Observations as operational partners, and platinum/gold sponsors Fytogreen Australia, Citgreen (Citygreen), and Tensile Design & Construct. The GTM motion is community-led and event-driven, relying on volunteer advocacy, content curation, and networking rather than a commercial sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA): Australia's leading sustainable building certification body (Green Star). Adjacent overlap on green infrastructure advocacy and standards, with much broader scope and significantly larger scale than AGIN.
• Urban Land Institute (ULI): Global real estate and land use research and education organization. Comparable membership/advocacy model and shares corporate sponsor overlap with AGIN, though operates across the broader built environment rather than green infrastructure specifically.
• World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN): Global umbrella network of which AGIN is the ANZ chapter. Coordinates international green infrastructure advocacy, congresses, and standards - comparable scope but at the worldwide rather than regional level.
• Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA): Australian body administering the IS Rating for sustainable infrastructure. Overlaps with AGIN on ESG advocacy and infrastructure standards, but operates across all infrastructure categories rather than green infrastructure specifically.

Regional players

• Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA): Australian peak professional body for landscape architects. Comparable membership-based association model serving overlapping professional segments (design, urban greening), though broader in scope than AGIN's narrow green infrastructure focus.
• The Landscape Institute (UK): UK chartered body for landscape professionals. Comparable professional association model with similar membership tiers, advocacy, and CPD/event offerings - serves an overlapping professional audience in a different geography.
• European Federation of Green Roof and Wall Associations (EFB): European federation of national green roof and wall associations. Direct functional counterpart to AGIN at a regional level - comparable membership model, advocacy work, and standards focus, but operating across Europe.
• Australian Urban Design Alliance (AUDA): Coalition of Australian professional bodies advocating for urban design quality. Similar cross-disciplinary advocacy model to AGIN and shares some member organizations, with a broader urban design remit but a comparable non-profit membership structure.

Direct peers

• Green Roofs for Healthy Cities: North American industry association for green roofs, walls, and infrastructure. Direct peer to AGIN in scope and mission - membership-based advocacy, training, and standards development for the green infrastructure sector.

Emerging players

• Living Architecture Performance Group (LAPG): Industry initiative focused on green wall and facade performance standards. Comparable in niche focus on living architecture and standards development, but smaller and more narrowly focused than AGIN.
