CONCERNED about the lack of affordable housing on the Sunshine Coast, the difficulties small businesses face getting staff due to lack of housing, or the problems facing single older people aging alone? These problems are escalating and will be a tsunami by the 2032 Olympics unless major changes are made.
International expert in regenerative and community led housing, Zola Rose, is visiting the Sunshine Coast from September 13-21 to share how community led housing initiatives can help solve the housing crisis locally.
Zola Rose is the Founding Director of Common Ground New Zealand and works to support the development of community-led affordable housing by working directly with local communities and Local Government to catalyse and enable the formation of these housing developments.
The Housing Older Women Movement is hosting Zola for a series of free seminars and workshops throughout Southeast Queensland from September, 10-23 along with meetings with Local and State Government to promote this approach to housing. This project aims to seed the establishment of at least three demonstration housing developments locally, providing a clear model of perpetually affordable housing for current and future generations.
Registration essential, all are free. Attendance at a seminar is required before joining a workshop. Friday September 13, Seminar 9:30 – 12: 30 at Nambour Showgrounds.
Workshop 1pm – 4:30pm.
