GEN Australia is the Australian chapter of the global organisation that has built strong links and gatherings internationally between diverse rural and urban ecovillages over three decades to share knowledge and resources among regenerative villages.
Cohousing Australia is a national association developed over a decade from passionate residents, professionals and communitarians that practice the cohousing lifestyle like cohousing communities and associations throughout the world. The primary focus of CoHA is accelerating a shift towards housing that is developed and governed through community-led, participatory processes.
Recently, long term Ambassador circle member of GEN Australia, passionate PhD
researcher of communities, and regenerative village practitioner, Jason Hilder, took on the Co-chair role of CoHA with the intention to lead the organisation through the next phase of the strategic plan and foster relationships between the organisations.
‘The benefits of collaborative housing in communities and villages are multifaceted yet it istaking time for Australian policy makers, governments, planners and developers to come on board. It is good sense to collaborate our efforts to share the positive solutions through our networks and generate the ground swell of change needed’ Jason Hilder PhD.
GEN Au and CoHA will be featured together at ‘The Off Grid Living Festival’ and ‘Woven communities conference’ both in Victoria in April this year.
