Diverse community

2017-06-27T02:43:25+10:00

Moora Moora is a co-operative residential community made up of a diverse group of about 50 adults and 20 children. We deliberately choose to live together in six small hamlets located on a beautiful co-operatively owned 245 hectare property situated at an altitude of 700 metres on Mt Toolebewong.

The community is situated near the township of Healesville, approximately 67 km, about 90 minutes by car, to the east of the city of Melbourne. Melbourne is Australia's second largest city and capital of the state of Victoria. It is located in the south eastern corner of continental Australia.

Climate Emergency Declaration

We, the community of Moora Moora, declare a climate emergency and pledge to take action to restore a safe climate. We also pledge to prepare ourselves and our children for life on a warmer planet.

Ratified: 6 July 2019
