Our eco-village community is involved in a number of projects, such as for:

• Grazing
• Nursery and Treeplanting
• Permaculture Course
• Orchard
• Community Meetings
• Weed and Pest Control
• Maintenance of Community Roads and Buildings
• Finance, Administration and Public Relations (Open Days)

Eco-village members contribute to projects through a system called community hours.

Eco-village members contribute to these projects through a system called Community Hours. Under this system village members contribute time to community projects and record the number of hours spent and the projects which were worked on. This provides information to allow individuals to track their work patterns and to allow the community to see where energy is focussed. All eco-village residents who are of working age are normally expected to contribute community hours. The community hours requirement is set every year and has varied from 176 to 82 hours per year (2 - 4 hours per week, 44 weeks per year, excluding community meeting time).

Approximately 29 ha (72 acres) of the shared owned land is pasture. To manage our pasture land and to be self-sufficient in beef meat this land is grazed. Through the yearly sale of cattle the grazing is budget neutral and even provides some money to maintain the road and pay other community bills.

The pasture is annually sprayed with bio-dynamic fish fertiliser and 'preparation 500'. We presently own approximately 45 beef cattle.

A principal aim of our Eco-Village is to repair the deforested and eroded areas of farmland we inhabit. An important part of this is tree planting. With all the land area available to us this could involve some hundred thousand trees. Every year a great number of trees are planted, mainly natives. Many of these are propagated in our own nursery.
