Lot Information

Strata Title Ownership
The 13 (potentially 15) strata commercial lots are in two separate stratas (Bussell Highway and Wolghine Avenue) divided by Willerin Lane, which is a Public Road Reserve. We chose to make the commercial lots Strata Title instead of Green Title for several reasons:
- The owners can share in the communal ownership and management of nearly 40ha of Ecovillage Commons land and enjoy its myriad amenities.
- They will benefit from having Strata Bylaws, which will ensure businesses adhere to the sustainability principles and operational standards of the Ecovillage.
- Each lot will also share an electrical switchboard with a single point connection to the Western Power grid, which sits on common property. Owners will benefit from reduced 100% renewable energy costs that come with using Amanda Energy (instead of Synergy) as our energy retailer and the potential to upscale their solar systems.
- Commercial lot owners will formally be part of the Ecovillage, which will offer a unique and advantageous marketing and branding opportunity.
There are strata levies for these commercial lots, but they will be minimal as they only pertain to the shared electrical switchboard, not communal buildings or services, as is commonly the case in many built stratas.
Additional information
Lot prices are excluding GST.
All Ecovillage lots are deep sewered and connected to the privately licensed wastewater treatment plant. As such, commercial lots will have annual sewer rates that are pegged to standard Water Corp fees and will be billed by TMC Witchcliffe, our licensed wastewater treatment service provider. These are the only Commercial sites in Witchcliffe with deep sewer connection, a real advantage for most enterprises.
Strata fees, Shire rates and TMC Witchcliffe annual fees are available on request.
