Mission: We are exploring living in ways that are spiritually, socially, environmentally and economically sustaining, whilst sharing and engaging with the world.

From www.ic.org/directory/bellbunya-community-association/:


We are individuals united in seeking to create conscious community that are havens liberating and nurturing the potential of all through social equity, integrity, courage, transformative growth, collaborative enterprises, and celebration and care of the planet.

In December 2008 we created a four-bottom-line intentional community / ecovillage on the Sunshine Coast hinterland at Belli Park, near Noosa, to model sustainable community living.

The first bottom line is personal transformative growth and the recognition of the connection that exists in all of us and our planet. The community thus has a spiritual, though non-denominational, basis. Our intention is fundamentally outward focused, with the intent to interact and contribute to society in positive ways.

The second is social sustainability and connection. This incorporates facilitating people from different ages, backgrounds and economic circumstances, setting a community size of 12 or more. It incorporates governance that is honouring to all, recognising the need to be heard; and communication and conflict resolution skills. We have clear processes in place to give transparency.

The third is economic sustainability, which incorporates the community's stability as well as desirable industry that supports individual economic sustainability. We also seek the growth of non-currency based internal economies.

The fourth is environmental sustainability, which incorporates food production on our rural site; rainwater harvesting, treatment, and dispersal; building design, construction, and refurbishments; and renewable energy. Overarching this is respect and care of the natural country of which we are the current stewards.

Our 16 hectare (40 acre) property has conference/workshop facilities including a hall, restaurant, and suites of accommodations for small groups. We welcome enquiries for holding workshops and retreats that further our sustainable and ethical practices.

We are also open to additional community members at this stage. There may be building sites and rental spaces for like-minded people who share our vision and have the energy and enthusiasm to see this project through.
