Our Values

We think ‘community first’ and collaborate, to achieve greater individual and collective outcomes together.

• We seek to include a mix of private, social, and affordable housing in our ownership structure

• We embrace change and ongoing personal growth

• We learn from and teach each other

• We foster connections beyond our cohousing community

• We are active participants in our community

• We use collaborative governance and practice proactive communication and conflict resolution

We apply a care mindset, to nurture connection and belonging.

• We strive to make all people feel welcome and included in our community

• We purposefully build trust and deeper relationships with each other

• We decrease social isolation through tangible and intangible social support systems

• We have shared spaces that facilitate connection to people and nature

• We celebrate and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and play and seek to learn from indigenous knowledge and wisdom

We embrace sustainable approaches, to minimise our environmental footprint.

• We seek to build environmentally sustainable structures that have a long term low energy use (and are relatively low maintenance)

• We seek to share resources and buy collectively

• We minimise our waste

• We work to minimise our use of private vehicles by removing barriers to active and shared transport modes
