The housing debate is currently dominated by discussion about
affordability, but to create truly liveable urban communities we need to
equally value places that are inclusive, sustainable and resilient. New
models, new thinking and new incentives are needed to promote positive
social and environmental impacts and create a sense of place, community
ownership, wellbeing and low impact living.
Join the discussion for an inspiring evening exploring visions and
experiences of creating inclusive and sustainable communities. Headlining
the evening will be Chuck Durrett, the leading global voice of the
Cohousing movement that has transformed communities worldwide. In Australia
from the USA, Chuck is a leading thinker, architect and developer of
sustainable communities. He will be joined by an exciting collection of
local designers, developers, architects and researchers with on ground
experience of collaborative alternative approaches to urban living.

*Chuck Durrett (USA)*
(The Cohousing Company, McCamant & Durrett Architects)

Chuck Durrett is an American architect and author based in
Nevada City, California. With his wife, Kathryn McCamant,
he is credited with coining the English term “Cohousing” and
introducing the Cohousing model to North America. In recent
years he has focused on Cohousing for older persons.
Durrett and McCamant have consulted on the design and
development of over 50 Cohousing communities in North
America, and other projects around the world. He is a
major proponent of senior Cohousing, also known as elder
Cohousing, which are residential communities specifically
designed for seniors.

Durrett is author of The Senior Cohousing Handbook: A
Community Approach to Independent Living (2009, 2nd
edition), and with Kathryn McCamant, is co-author of
Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves
(1988) and Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable
Communities (2011). He is recipient or co-recipient of
numerous awards from the American Institute of Architects
and others for various completed projects. This includes a
United Nation’s World Habitat Award in 2001 for the East Lake
Commons Conservation Community project in Atlanta, Georgia.
A more recent award was the Vision 2020 Award of the Sierra
Business Council.

*Jason Twill*
(Lend Lease - Collective Urbanism)
Jason is a Senior Development Manager, Urban Regeneration
at Lendlease and supports teams that develop world-class
sustainable developments. Jason will speak on collective
urbanism, a pilot development that is informed through
robust community participation and responds to several
emerging lifestyle trends including the sharing economy,
micro-living, live/work, the maker movement and co-living to
create the ideal platform for a modern city lifestyle.


*Stina Kerans*
(Sun Villages and Integrated EcoVillages)
Stina’s vision of a utopian lifestyle was influenced by the
many world cultures she experienced on her ABC TV show
‘Stina’s Diary ‘ in the 60’s. She will discuss the Sun Villages
project by the award winning Integrated EcoVillages. Sun
Villages demonstrates the 3 principles necessary to generate
a successful village model. This long-term village vision of a
total of 100 odd homes is about to commence its third and
final stage. Integrated within this village stage is a new model
of home ownership that not only makes housing affordable,
but also allows size flexibility to meet the changing stages of
the lifecycles of people and thus freedom for the individual,
including all type of financial benefits not common within our
present systems of housing.

*Ben O’Callaghan*
(The Ecovillage at Currumbin and Smart Urban Villages)
The Currumbin Ecovillage has just celebrated its 10 year
anniversary, so Ben will explore the “lessons learned” from
the community with 33 awards, which followed his Canberra
Cohousing experience. Ben will also reveal a new urban
housing development model by Smart Urban Villages. The
innovative process will create Australia’s next-generation of
sustainable communities, that are accessible without the need
for a mortgage.
