Remember this name - Waratah Community Land Trust Association

An early inspiration in the Transition Sydney search for people with meaningful solutions was Dr Louise Crabtree, who has been researching Community Land Trusts as a real and workable model for taking property speculation out of the equation of the toxic mix of financial motives making housing unaffordable for many Sydney people. Community Land Trusts have been operating successfully for many years in the USA and are being used in providing affordable housing and businesss premises for the people.

Now a motivated group of Sydney people have created the beginnings of the Community Land Trust solution here in New South Wales, the Waratah Community Land Trust Association Inc. It is going to be an important part of the greater mosaic of sane, sustainable and ethical initiatives that take us toward a resilient community better able to handle the challenges of the future.

Here's a brief video introduction to this inspiring new group
