"Regenerative Development is the art of evolving living systems through the weaving of local patterns in place"
Michael McElligott, CEO, Veridian Developments

Our Partners

Regenerative development is an approach to planning, design and management that positions every project as a living participant in its place. Its goal is not simply to lessen harm or “be sustainable,” but to grow the health, resilience and evolutionary potential of the social-ecological systems in which people work and live.

Veridian is a regenerative development company dedicated to the evolution of this field of conscious civilisation development

Veridian regeneratively co-designs property development projects, investment opportunities, and unique governance structures with local communities across Australia, and internationally

Bioregional Finance Facility

The Bioregional Finance Facility is a new way to fund local regenerative projects for bioregional activation.
Partnering with a finance institution and investment fund, we are codesigning new ways to direct capital and structuring loans for things like affordable homes, Indigenous-led businesses, regen farming, and land care.
Our local community hub teams will be actively co-designing the projects, so money goes where it is most needed. When borrowers repay, the money is lent out again, creating a continuous cycle of support for healthy soils, strong local jobs, and thriving neighbourhoods.

  • Community & regenerative business loans
  • Affordable housing + Build-to-Rent
  • Lease-to-Buy pathways for everyday families
  • Community Land Trusts for long-term equity
  • Ecological service credits & Indigenous-led enterprises
  • Climate-resilient ag finance
