Awaawaroa Bay Eco-Village owns 169 hectares (420 acres). There is a large wetland and estuarine system and a number of large pockets of regenerating bush. More than fifty percent of the bush is covenanted with DOC.
To protect the wildlife there are currently no cats or dogs on the property. Nontoxic and energy-efficient building materials and methods are required. An internal building code is in place. Most families use alternative power systems. We aim for a chemical-free environment with all land-use practices to be organic.
Our community vision statement is as follows:
"We live in community, creating a safe, sustainable environment that encompasses and enhances wholesome relationships with each other and the land.
All land use is organic, encouraging bio-diversity.
We protect and enhance ecosystems and natural habitats.
Our community is based on cooperation, honesty and consensus.
We have a willingness to balance individual needs with the greater
good of the community, while also valuing people’s diversity.
We are a community who understands that our actions and behaviours influence the world of the future."
A communal tractor shed/barn has been built. The construction of a multi-purpose mud-brick community building is nearing completion and is starting to be used for meetings, celebrations and various group activities. All we really need is the kitchen and we will be really happy. |
