A Collective in Melbourne’s West – Participant Expression of Interest
We are collaborating with the Westside CoHousing Collective to establish a building group in Melbourne's west.
The current members of Westside are wanting to grow their community.
They would like to find more like-minded people to help shape their vision for a more collaborative lifestyle in Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Brimbank or Moonee Valley.
They want to create a sustainable and self governing community in the Inner West of Melbourne, featuring private housing with communal facilities that promote resource sharing and community interaction.
The project aims to deliver:
- An intergenerational and mixed tenure community which provides long-term connection, belonging and joy for residents
- Around 30 well designed high quality townhouses and/or apartments with a mixture of dwelling sizes
- High performing and energy efficient homes
- Communal spaces with green spaces and opportunities for social connection, collaboration and resource sharing
- A truly participatory design process
Our target time frame for the project is to:
- Establish a core Collective in mid-late 2023
- Acquire a site by mid 2024
- Circa 4 year development with completion in 2027-2028
