Crystal Waters Eco Village
Sustainable community organization.Crystal Waters Permaculture Village in Australia, established in 1987, was the world's first intentional permaculture village and has carried out pioneering work in demonstrating new ways of sustainable, low-impact living. There are over 250 people living in the village of all ages and from diverse cultures.
Crystal Waters EcoVillage is set in 640 acres of bushland at the headwaters of the Mary River, 26kms from Maleny or Woodford. It consists of 83 privately owned one-acre plots, arranged in small clusters, large areas of common land, and cooperatively-owned commercial properties including the Village Green and Eco Park Accommodations. Much of Crystal Waters was designed using permaculture principles.
