This public page outlines the Steps to becoming a member of the Narara Ecovillage Co-operative.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact Jazz Mozzi on info@nararaecovillage.com. 



1.  

Read the provided Narara Ecovillage Community Management Statement (CMS), noting annual Community Association (CA) levies which will apply once you own a lot.

2.

Read the provided Narara Ecovillage Disclosure Statement and the Co-operative Rules, noting annual co-op member contributions which apply irrespective of lot ownership.

3.

Participate in a variety of at least five (5) ecovillage events within the last 12 months. Examples could include attending or helping at Open Days, online events, working bees, shared meals, workshops, parent group activities, talks or trainings.  Working alongside groups of ecovillagers with a shared objective is the best way to connect with us.
