After three years of planning, Kyogle Council has approved the Afterlee Ecovillage, a 700-hectare co-operative community with over 60 home sites. Chosen for its abundant water and historic village location, the ecovillage will blend sustainability, community living, and regenerative farming.
The first 31 flood-free plots sold in round one, funding the land purchase, while the next 30 plots will support infrastructure like roads, a community hall, work sheds, and recreational spaces. Homes will follow ecological design principles, with members recently completing permaculture and ecovillage design courses. 🌱🏡
“This is not an investment, it’s a lifestyle,” says town planner Shane Sylvanspring, who has lived in renowned ecovillages like Findhorn and Moora Moora. Future plans include a café, nursery, orchards, walking trails, and reopening the Afterlee school. New members are board-approved.
