DecoHousing Denmark
A showcase strata-titled ecovillage in the heart of Denmark, Western Australia
What is an Ecovillage?
An ecovillage is an intentional traditional or urban community that is consciously designed through locally owned participatory processes in all four dimensions of sustainability - social, cultural, ecological and economic - to regenerate social and natural environments. Because each ecovillage is designed by the people who live there according to their vision, context, culture and interests, no two are alike.
This $4.9 million DecoHousing project has delivered a cohousing ecovillage intended to set a benchmark for medium density housing and community in a regional township. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first intentional ecovillage in a conventional rural town in Australia.
DecoHousing is a member of the Global Ecovillage Network, a global network of people and communities dedicated to living sustainable lives by restoring the land and adding more to the environment than is taken.
