Bindarrabi Community

A Rural Landshare Community
Bindarrabi Community (BC)
is a Company Pty Ltd which will have twenty one shares/members/households. This structure was chosen so that any funds accrued to BC by projects or enterprises on the land, can be shared amongst the Members.

• Each share is entitled to a house-site approved by council plus exclusive use of a two acre envelope around that site.
  Early entry secures choice of area.
• Remaining land to be managed in common.
• Decisions concerning use and management of remaining seven hundred and sixty acres to be agreed to by members. 
• Shares can only be sold at cost plus any CPI increase. This ensures affordable land into the future.


NB. 200 acres only are to be used for habitation and livelihood while the remaining 612 acres, designated 'Wild Lands' remain for conservation and recreation.

Buildings
• Buildings to be erected are to have own water harvesting, solar power and waste management and demonstrate varying low cost, minimal footprint, sustainable building styles.
 • Any buildings for habitation to be within building code standards and fire code standards.
 • Any buildings built by members on their leased portion are deemed to be the property of that member. On sale of the Member's Share, their house will be sold at market value.


Governance
BC operates under the Companies Act which requires a Board and Directors. Our Constitution is an egalitarian framework, hence Directors will only enact Members directives from community meetings. 

Self-motivated people, as well as the times we live in, demand greater participation by the community in decisions affecting their lives. 
A deeper form of democracy, sociocracy, along with defined consensual decision making processes will  inform the progress of BC. 







Livelihood
Of course each member will have their own livelihood, preferably one that can be generated or managed from their ecology-friendly home.
