MERRI COHOUSING NEWS
News from 2005
Merri Cohousing is Ready To Act!
Our group has spent many months putting together a detailed financial plan
and legal structure for buying land and building a cohousing development. We
are now in the final stages of getting the structure checked by our lawyers
before we start evaluating sites (yet again).
Other suitable sites
We need about 4600 square metres for 24 dwellings, but it could be more or
less than this. The preferred location of Merri Cohousing is in the inner
Northern area of Melbourne (up to Coburg or Preston).
Sites such as this are sold regularly, so if you know of such a site then
please let us know.
