10.01.2022 Hi! I am searching for a room or granny flat at a community or house that would benefit from my calm, patient presence. Open to different exchanges including cooking, gardening, house care, computer help, photography, conscious movement/dance, money etc. I will visit Castlemaine Friday 31 July if you'd like to meet. I choose Castlemaine because on each of my visits I feel a warm fit with your beautiful community. I am a non-smoking researcher-designer-facilitator. Profile and... references at http://tinyurl.com/houseming Preferably, the place is within about 10 minutes' bicycle ride of the train station and is available soon as my house sit in Woodend ends 4th August (earlier than originally planned). If it's not available soon, let's still talk as perhaps something can be arranged. Grateful to be connected to someone who may have space, you can Facebook private message me or call 043 503 0275.

03.01.2022 The ATHA has informed us of a new pilot program code for 'Secondary Dwellings' for four lcouncils in Victoria Greater Bendigo, Murrindindi, Kingston and Moreland. From August 2020 until March 2021 the pilot program will allow applications for a permit for a Secondary Dwelling on a property. This would seem to open the gate for the tiny house sector to spread through other councils, such as MAS! Read more here https://www.planning.vic.gov.au///secondary-dwellings-code
