This "Cooperative Living" event series is for those interested in any form of cooperative living such as tiny home village, ecovillage, co-living, co-housing, papakΔinga, agrivillage, etc. This series started with presenting about a little-known Tasman District Council policy called Cooperative Living** which allows 3+ dwellings on rural land if owned/used cooperatively. We are expanding on this foundation to explore the other aspects of cooperative living.
We offer this content in the hopes this will give more knowledge, skills, clarity, security, connections, and affordability considerations to the process of setting up a cooperative living arrangement in the Top of the South.
Part 1: Presentation on successful and affordable rural housing models--to be inspired of what's possible.
Zola researches this topic extensively and recently worked in Australia where she experienced and met leaders of these models first-hand. She will be sharing about how these housing models came about, what makes them successful, what can make them affordable, and options of what can be emulated in our local area.
Part 2: Structured Networking:
We will offer some activities to get people connected in meaningful ways. We are particularly interested to connect people who have land/property that they might want to make available for some form of land-share for housing with others who are seeking land or others to partner with.
Plant-based nibbles and refreshments will be served. Your ticket price covers food, venue, koha for the presenter and facilitation. We greatly appreciate your participation and support.
Register in advance so we have correct numbers for catering.
The event is hosted by the Cooperative Living Steering Group and facilitated by Zola Rose of Common Ground who is a community development and community engagement practitioner living at Riverside Community in the Tasman District.

**(Plan Change 60) of the Tasman Resource Management Plan allows for 3+ dwellings on rural land as long as there is cooperative ownership or use of land and buildings. It also circumvents the need for a subdivision. You can find the information document on this Cooperative Living prepared by TDC here: https://drive.google.com/.../1qvYPhOH.../view... See less
