Cohousing is really just a modern village deliberately created to bring people together, independent families and individuals choosing to share resources and support each others’ lives to create a more affordable, sustainable and satisfying way of living.

​

Cohousing creates intentional small sharing communities where each family has their own self-contained home and also shares common spaces. These might include a community kitchen and dining area, a laundry, workshops, vegie gardens and extend to car pooling, buying food etc. Cohousing is an international movement now growing in Australia - 32 countries have national cohousing associations including Australia.

​

Residents actively participate from the design and construction through to the day to day operation of their community. Think of it as managing your own development!

​

The degree of sharing of resources can vary for individuals but a commitment to sharing and helping each other is the essential glue of a cohousing community. Cohousing provides affordable, environmental and friendly solutions for 21st century living. It brings together the value of privately owned homes and affordable rentals with more affordable, sustainable living.
