We’re a diverse group of ordinary people living and working in inner-city Sydney (Australia) who want to live more collaboratively and sustainably. Our housing system is broken, and we believe there are better ways to live.
What is co-housing?
Co-housing is collaborative living by choice. It is not an architectural style, but a lifestyle. In a co-housing community, everyone has their own private home, and shares amenities and community spaces.
Our plan for a Sydney Urban Eco-Village
Sydney Cohousing is helping a group of passionate ordinary people start a new housing development: a sustainable, affordable, co-operative block of “togetherments” in urban Sydney
Ways to get involved
Do you want to help promote co-housing in Sydney? There are lots of ways you can get involved, no matter what your knowledge level!
A few of us started Sydney Cohousing as a MeetUp group in 2018, with the twin aims of
- promoting cohousing as an option to policy makers & housing professionals, and
- creating an intentional community of residents for one or more cohousing projects
We have since decided to focus on establishing one project to begin with – which has the working title ‘Sydney Eco-village’. For more on this, please see our short presentation video.
The ‘Eco-village’ would act as a pilot or demonstration project, to help inspire other, potentially larger cohousing projects to come.
