Essential Sessions on Ginn Rd Pilot Project and the Future of Community

29 October 2025 Leave a Comment

PeoplePurposePlace to Host Essential Sessions on Ginn Rd Pilot Project and the Future of Community

Atherton, QLD – PeoplePurposePlace, innovator in collaborative, sustainable, and affordable housing, is holding a comprehensive four-hour seminar on:

Living, Renting and Owning: A Roadmap to Collaborative Living

8 November, 9 am to 1 pm

42 Ginn Road, Malanda

This is for applicants, potential applicants, and those who are serious about collaborative living concepts and training.

This event, titled “Living, Renting and Owning: A Roadmap to Collaborative Living,” is the definitive opportunity for the Tablelands community to explore a practical, affordable, and sustainable solution to their housing needs.

A second session will be held for those interested in investing, either as a social investment model or as a group of up to 5 unrelated individuals who have enough money to buy into a group investment in a custom-designed or renovated house, but not enough to purchase a house in their present circumstances.

8 November, 3 pm to 5 pm

42 Ginn Road, Malanda

Beyond Bricks & Mortar: Innovations for Community Investment in Housing

1-hour presentation followed by Q&A

This event, titled “Beyond Bricks & Mortar: Innovations for Community Investment in Housing”, touches upon:

  • an introduction to innovative ownership models and social investment.
  • ideas around creating mini-communities and supporting the larger local community.
  • initial exposure to novel ideas in design (new build or reno) and collaboration techniques.
  • strategies for future economic growth in regional areas.
ABC Far North’s Charlie McKillop is delighted with the Ginn Rd project, as is the first investor, Christine Doan

Hosted by PeoplePurposePlace innovator Darren Finley, the events will combine vital information on the Ginn Road project development with foundational principles of collaborative living:

  • The Roadmap to Residency: The precise process, practices, and tools needed to move toward residency in the Ginn Road project or upcoming properties will be discussed. This is crucial for securing a future home, as the tools to increase chances of success will be provided.
  • The Future of Affordable Housing/Homing: How collaborative living addresses the widespread challenge of housing affordability.
  • Addressing Concerns: Change requires adjustment. The foundational agreements and practices that facilitate collaboration will be reviewed, questions will be answered, and a commitment to making this a safe, affordable, and sustainable solution will be detailed.

Darren Finley states, “Our purpose is to walk this journey with you. We recognise that new initiatives bring reservations, and that’s exactly why PeoplePurposePlace was created—to support people through this process. Join us on November 8th, bring your list of questions, and let’s define a new future for home and community together.”
