+=== Cohousing ===
+Cohousing is a resident-led approach to living in self-governing communities with our neighbours. Its six principles are:
+  - Participatory process
+  - Neighbourhood design
+  - Common facilities
+  - Resident management
+  - Non-hierarchical structure and decision-making
+  - No shared community economy
+To learn more, also read [[public: About Cohousing]].

+Note that CENSW is significantly different from Victoria's CEHL in that it typically does not own property, but only operates it. This means it has much less ability to fund new developments.
