Australian Hemp Masonry – December 2025 Newsletter (Issue #5)  brings together on-the-ground insights from designers, builders and sustainability practitioners working with hemp-based construction in Australia.

Featuring a designer spotlight with Tracy Graham of Connected Design, the issue explores why hempcrete is gaining traction as a low-carbon, high-performance wall system from thermal comfort and acoustic benefits to vapour permeability and reduced reliance on plastics.

It also dives into the broader climate and economic case for hemp construction, including carbon sequestration, local supply chains and circular economy principles, alongside practical lessons from real builds and construction tips for working with lintels and steel frames. A thoughtful, experience-led snapshot of where hemp masonry is heading — and why it matters now.
