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.

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.
