The Ecovillage in Currumbin is a living community that was conceived by a passionate group of friends in the late 1990s. The first home was completed in 2006. Today it is home to extensive wildlife, over 350 adults and 100 children, 60+ kangaroos and several small businesses. The active community enjoys events together in its community hall in the centre of the village. These include yoga, pilates, qigong, dancing, craft beer tasting, birthday parties and many other social events for residents and guests, managed and run by residents. Many residents report being now part of a large ‘extended’ family which comes with many unexpected and non-tangible benefits. Whilst not perfect, it provides many insights into how a community can be more sustainable and operate for the benefit of the environment and human habitation.
