1. Welcome toKookaburra Park Eco-Village Living in harmony with nature

2. What is an Eco-Village • An Eco-Village is a form of Sustainable Development. • The concept allows for individual freehold ownership of your lot while owning the surrounding land in common with the rest of the lot owners. • Thus owners retain their individualism by owning their freehold lot as well as belonging to a community of like minded people.

3. What does Kookaburra Parklook like? • Kookaburra Park is made up of 124 freehold lots set on 485 acres of interesting subtropical bushland. • That leaves approximately 360 acres of common land for the enjoyment of all lot holders. • The common land includes lakes, roads, open grassland and forested bushland.

4. How is the common land managed? • To formalise the ownership of the common land Kookaburra Park utilises the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 Qld. • This Act determines how the common land is managed. • Every lot owner pays a levy each year to maintain and improve the common land. • At present the levy is $230.00 per lot per year. • This levy is used to slash the common land along the road sides, maintain the water system, for rubbish collection, recycling and to see to minor repairs. • Money is also put aside each year to pay for major spending in the future on things like resurfacing of the roads and improvement projects such as new playgrounds. • The local Council also charges its minimum rate of $320.00 p/a.

5. Are there any restrictions? • You can build anything you like at Kookaburra Park, as long as it meets Council requirements. • It is recommended that you look at utilising some of the eco-friendly techniques available on the market today. • One of the major differences at Kookaburra Park is that there is a by-law that restricts the keeping of dogs and cats. • It has been found that because of this by-law the wildlife at Kookaburra Park has increased. • Other reasons for having this by-law are that; • It has been shown that keeping of dogs in urban and semi-urban areas can create uneasiness between neighbours and • It eases the concerns of the neighbours on either side of the Park that dogs will not gather in packs and harass their cattle. • Apart from dogs and cats residents are allowed to keep other animals. These may be chooks, guinea pigs, birds, goats & pigs etc.
