Curious about housing co-operatives? Interested to see and learn more about existing housing co-ops in WA?

Hop on the bus and come along for a unique taster tour of Housing Co-ops. During this tour we will visit the following three housing co-ops in the Fremantle area:

Inanna's House - is a women-managed housing co-operative that was created to house low-income-earning women and their families. Inanna’s House began in 1992, when a group of women met in a local coffee shop to discuss their vision of providing secure, low-cost housing for women where they could also explore their spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, economic and other needs.
First Fremantle Housing Collective - comprises of 14 co-located homes and a community facility. It was formed in 1985 after a meeting called by the City of Fremantle, which had set aside some land for a housing co-operative. The founding members built their homes and moved in in June 1987.
Pinakarri Community - an award-winning, intentional cohousing community of around two dozen people. 12 architect designed houses; each house is fully self-contained and residents share the common facilities.

Meet some of the residents, listen to their stories, and see how they live in and operate their housing co-ops: co-ops in action!
