Lynne Seddon from the Tasman Village project has contacted us about their ‘affordable’ community village project at Nubeena on Tassie’s south-east coast.
The Mercury reports that plans for a 65 lot community village on nine hectares at Nubeena have been approved by the Tasman Council and that this new village will surround the existing Parsons Bay Retreat.
A Village For a Range Of People And Activities
Developer Ilan Arnon says the Tasman Village project will offer affordable housing for retirees, young families and sea-changers and he expects the development to appeal to a wide range of people, including those looking for a holiday property.
The land is strata titled so people will be able to sell whenever they wish.
The blocks are small but every participant shares the open space, parklands, recreation and food-production spaces.
Ilan’s development in Nubeena is being created on 24 acres of disused golf course surrounding a 19 unit holiday complex. The Parsons Bay Retreat, built in the 1970s, will be rejuvenated and used as a base that will include tennis courts, a swimming pool, a licensed cafe, therapy rooms and areas for arts and events.
This Tasman Village development had been his life-long dream, inspired by years spent in a kibbutz in Israel as a teenager.
What Ilan Says About His Project
People of all ages from interstate and overseas are being attracted to the development which is still in its still in its early stages.
“I believe this is an idea whose time has come..
A kibbutz is a collective community in a rural environment where people choose to work cooperatively with shared resources aiming to be self sufficient. In these very uncertain times we need to look at becoming more self sufficient and not be dependent on complicated infrastructure ... Click here to read the full story on "PIGS WILL FLY"
EDITORS NOTE: Now this is a bit of a pace setter for other Tasmanian Local Government even if they no longer able to claim to be leading the pace. That aside, this concept is worth championing as a 21st Century idea.
