6. Membership Model

Updated: Sep 24

Eco Villages Australia, being a legal entity, has a membership model.


The vast majority of people who are residents or visitors of our eco villages are not full members. It takes a full 18 months of residency to be eligible for full membership.


You don't have to be a member to benefit from EVA. We have many opportunities to visit and work on the land. We have hosted and inspired thousands of people as we have run large seminars, and dozens of workshops covering topics like biogas, conflict, natural building, and how to buy land for regeneration.


We have also shared our learnings on radio, in print, podcasts and in blogs.


If you are considering being a resident of an EVA eco village, then you might reflect on the list below as a fairly generic list that the intentional community world's collective wisdom has put forward.


The sort of people who will make great eco-villagers:

  • want to join together to conserve and regenerate land

  • subscribe to the values of your community.

  • have good self-awareness and are committed to personal development.

  • enjoy contributing

  • can balance their own needs with the needs of the group.

  • aim to be non-judgmental and value everyone for who they are.

  • have good communication skills.

  • have practical skills and are open to learning new skills.

  • have a history of healthy, positive relationships.

  • can meet the financial needs of the community.

Hello, I have some questions!

My sister, 68, her son 31 and me 70 would be interested in being part of the community. We live on the Central Coast NSW in a rental but I feel the rent may increase when our lease is up in August to a level we can't afford. Anywhere else will be unaffordable as well making us homeless.

We are on the Aged Pension, the son on Disability (doesn't require a wheelchair).

I run a from home plant business that lockdowns and major surgery (for me) has diminished somewhat. Sis loves gardening too.

Your village life would give a sense of security we don't get in a rental ie owner sells, terminates us to increase…
