Overlooking Parsons Bay in Nubeena, on the stunningly beautiful Tasman Peninsula, our 23 acre property is developing into a modern, sustainable and affordable community. Our community spaces include a large kitchen, common room, recreation room, tennis courts and a barbeque area. The land is undulating with diverse natural features.
Just 1.5 hours from Tasmania’s capital city, Hobart, we are surrounded by beaches, forest and magnificent scenery. We are five minutes walk from the centre of Nubeena, where there are many services such as the district school, police and emergency services, doctor, chemist, bank, post office, supermarket and a tavern. We have a vision of a way of life that :
● affirms our understanding that we are an integral part of nature, respects all beings, and treads more lightly on the Earth,
● acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land and the rich diversity of our own ancestral histories,
● is resilient and able to adapt to a changing world,
● is sustainable ecologically, socially and economically,
● is developing efficient, sustainable and locally-based systems for food, water and energy,
● is cooperative and mutually supportive,
● has decision-making and group processes which promote harmony,
● encourages a focus on relationship and inner peace,
● provides a safe, loving environment where everyone flourishes and is nurtured,
● is a vibrant hub of community arts and crafts,
● is fully engaged with the larger community of which it is a part, and
● is a place of healing, training and education
A community in which harmony, sustainability, social connection and wellbeing are integral to everyday life.
We encourage and support initiatives, personal interactions and communication that strengthen the ecological, social and wellbeing aspects of community life through activities, projects and shared learning.
Our membership process involves agreeing to our Vision and Values and Code of Conduct and completing an application form with two existing community members nominating you for membership.
Please contact us in advance of your visit so we can ensure there is someone available to meet with you and show you around. Accommodation is sometimes available if you would like to stay, depending on the length of your visit and your interests.
A board, council, or committee chosen by members makes decisions on behalf of the community.
Generally seek agreement, but have backup methods when consensus isn’t reached.
Power and responsibility are shared relatively equally among members.
