Please note that the Old Dairy Community Hall in the middle of the Ecovillage can only be booked by a resident or sponsor for Ecovillage-focused events: see http://www.villagehub.com.au/about-us for more details. Residents use the Hall for activities such as yoga, parties, workshops, meals, meetings and other community events. Craft beer-tasting, coffee mornings and ‘long-table’ shared dinners are popular events.
Hundreds of native animals exist on the site (including echidnas, goannas, wallabies and kangaroos) and for this reason and others, dogs and cats are not permitted within the whole Ecovillage. The only exception is a registered Guide or Assistance Dog. The By-laws apply to all Ecovillage land and buildings and there is also a Council covenant on the land prohibiting dogs and cats in all private and public areas, including Chris Walton Oval and all of Currumbin Creek frontage. Thank you to visitors, for not bringing unregistered dogs or cats into the Ecovillage.
