The Waterfall Way CLT Ltd is a community-led, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to creating affordable homeownership opportunities for locals on local wages within the next two to three years.
Using the Community Land Trust (CLT) model—proven internationally and now implemented in the Bellingen Shire—we aim to deliver forever affordable homes. This model allows individuals on local incomes to secure affordable shared homeownership, enabling them to remain and thrive in their community.
Why It Matters
Housing costs in the Bellingen Shire have significantly outpaced local incomes, making homeownership unattainable for many key community members—tradespeople, health workers, educators, and long-term residents. The CLT model provides a new pathway to secure homeownership for these locals, keeping them in the community where they are most needed.
How to Get Involved
You can learn more by hosting a Kitchen Table or Work Bench outreach session. We’ll come to your home, workplace, or even a coffee shop with a few friends or colleagues for a free, one-hour. And watch out for some upcoming casual Bar Bite Sessions in your village.
