Crystal Waters
a.k.a. Crystal Waters Permaculture Village and Crystal Waters Ecovillage

Crystal Waters is an environmentally and socially responsible rural subdivision, designed using permaculture principles. With a community of over 200 people living in the village, it is continually evolving, physically and socially.

The property covers 650 acres, of which 20% is made up of 83 residential and 2 lots for the Crystal Waters Community Co-operative which provides facilities & services for the social & economic aspirations of the community. The remaining 80% is the best land and is owned in common. It can be licensed for agriculture, forestry, recreation and habitat projects.

The Village Green is the social hub of the community, with plenty of open space for people to meet, talk and play together. Surrounding the Green are The Kitchen and The Deck, which are used regularly for markets and concerts, and a variety of privately owned businesses. They all form a part of the Village Centre which is an area right at the entrance to Crystal Waters zoned for commerce, light industry, tourism and educational activities.
