A great article about Stellulata Cohousing in The Canberra Times this morning (16 March 2021). And we were interviewed on ABC Radio Canberra too.
The radio interview started after the 7am news so it is included in this long audio stream on Lish Fejer’s Breakfast program web page. (Jump ahead to our interview at 1:36:11)
Dion Georgopoulos took a great photo for Kathryn Lewis’ article in the paper that includes all the key points…
Trish Macdonald, Joss Haiblen and Ian Ross say co-housing is the perfect middle ground to downsize from their inner-north family homes without entering apartment living and giving up their backyard.
Stellulata plan to build three units and a communal kitchen and living area on a 1090 square-metre block at 24 Angas Street.
Sustainability was key to be part of the Demonstration Housing Project. Ms Macdonald said the site would be entirely solar-powered, have underground water tanks to fully service the garden, and two electric vehicle parking spaces.
"We're putting the vegetable garden in the front, because when you're in the garden, that's when you meet people who are walking along the street," Ms Macdonald said.
