This is a 1/8th share in Council approved 900 acre Honeyeaters multiple occupancy community. There are an additional 3 acres community land available for personal use.

Honeyeaters farm is situated at the foothills of the Barrington Tops & was operated as a dairy farm for approx 50 years. The Honeyeaters community currently agist beef cattle on the 200 acres of cleared land to keep the pasture down. The pasture is kikuyu & can carry up to 30 head of cattle. The soil is rich basalt soil.

A permanent creek runs through 700 acres of eucalypt & rainforest from adjoining Copeland Tops National Park.

Honeyeaters wish to preserve the existing bushland as natural habitat for native wildlife and aim to minimise the use of chemical herbicides & pesticides
Members will be requested to adopt an organic approach to gardening, farming, pest & land management.

Each member purchases a housing site as situated on the plan submitted to Council for our Multiple Occupancy DA, the development of which is their responsibility. Their total allocation of 2 hectares (5 acres) of land can be a parcel around the house and a parcel elsewhere (as agreed at a company meeting).

The use of the remaining cleared land will be open for discussion: members (individually or in groups) who have an idea for the use of the land can put their proposition to the community for discussion. The plan submitted to council shows two clusters of houses, one with three houses and one with five set around the knoll of the hill, set at a comfortable distance from each other.
Cluster building serves several purposes.
- To limit the extent of road building & therefore keep financial & environmental costs down.
- To provide services (phone & power) to clusters rather than separate dwellings, again keeps costs down.
- To lessen impact on the natural environment.
- To be able to have communal reed bed or bio septic sewerage systems.
Households are to provide all their own water needs (including fire plan requirements) via water tanks.
Company and council approval must be obtained before a house can be built. All house sites have power accessible if desired.

Prospective members go through a period of 4 months of getting to know everyone before the community will approve the purchase of a membership entitlement. This gives all parties the chance to get to know each other, to see how they work together and whether they have common goals. It also provides the opportunity to become involved in community activities, spend time on the farm and get to know the land, the area & the community structure.

Everyone who purchases a membership in Honeyeaters becomes a director on the board, is entitled to build on their allotted site, or purchase the existing house on that site (whichever applies). They are also entitled to 2 hectares (5 acres) of land on the property for their own use. All members are required to participate in the community farm management, engage in the consensus process of decision making and vote if necessary on all issues concerning the community & property.

As a lifestyle choice it is desired that members will make Honeyeaters farm their principal place of residence in order to fully participate in the ongoing management & maintenance of the property.
