Creating Community

The cul-de-sac you’ve lived on your entire life has white fences and overflowing trash bins. Everyone is pretty isolated from one another and hardly uses their yards for biodiversity or food growing. A movement is growing as people want to live differently: together, sharing resources, supporting each other, and living in harmony with nature.

Why Community?

  • Social

    Embraces diversity, peacebuilding, and wellbeing. Connection, supportive and intergenerational.

  • Environmental

    Focuses on regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and living a more interconnected life with nature.

  • Economy

    Responsible consumption, strengthening the community, justice, housing affordability and growing food together.

Living in a community starts with your home. Every home is different. They come in various forms and are unique to each person. Your home will typically be smaller than traditional homes; they could be:

  • Converted buses

  • Granny flats

  • Tiny homes on wheels

  • Caravans

  • Modular homes

  • Container homes

Living in a community is known as:

  • Co-housing

  • Collaborative housing

  • Cooperative housing

  • Eco-villages

It comes with many names, but they are about bringing people together to provided a supportive living environment, reducing your environmental footprint, providing affordable housing and intergenerational living.
