Bush Blocks Collaborative Housing - Register of Interest

1. A short survey to capture local interest in progressing this project.

The Bush Blocks Collaborative Housing project is an exciting opportunity to create the community we want, providing options to value-add on bushland blocks with creative, smart, small and sustainable housing that connects and unites the residents with the surrounding community while protecting and enhancing biodiversity for future generations.

The Coal Point Progress Association (CPPA) appreciates this is a grand vision requiring legal and financial structures, lots of conversations and research. We are at the very beginning of this journey.

This register of interest is so that we can start capturing your interest, whether it be to provide advice, share experiences, invest, be a home owner or be part of the building team.

The CPPA has a webpage where we are currently collating information, as a starting point to explore this local project http://coalpointprogress.blogspot.com/p/collaborative-housing.html
