The community is invited to attend an Open House event at 8 Rifle Range Road, Atherton, to explore an innovative approach to affordable housing, sustainable living and community connection.

Hosted by the collaborative partnership of StartUp Tablelands, PeoplePurposePlace and OnNaturesEdge, the event will showcase a new cost-friendly flat-pack home concept alongside a broader vision for collaborative living in regional communities.

The Open House follows the success of the Ginn Road Collaborative Housing Project, which demonstrated how people can come together to create affordable, supportive and resilient housing solutions. Building on those learnings, the partnership is now exploring new ways to make quality housing more accessible while strengthening social connection and community wellbeing.

Visitors will have the opportunity to:

• Tour the flat-pack home concept before the arrival of the product
• Learn about collaborative living models
• Explore sustainable and affordable housing options
• Meet the project team and ask questions
• Discuss future opportunities for community-led housing initiatives

"We know that many people are looking for housing solutions that are affordable, practical and community-focused," said the project team. "This Open House is an opportunity to share what we've learned and explore how collaborative approaches can help address housing challenges while creating stronger communities."

The event is free and open to anyone interested in innovative housing, sustainable living, community development or alternative pathways to home ownership and affordable housing.
