Moora Moora Co-operative Moora Moora is a community where we are committed to sharing our lives.

We are a group of people concerned to develop an alternative to suburban nuclear families
living with its particular pressures and limitations. Many of us are discontented with the
noise, foul air, water and food of the city, with our polluted environment. We are concerned
to get away from the overcrowding of city life. Others are particularly concerned about the
isolation and loneliness of suburban living, its increasingly high cost, the narrowness of the
isolated nuclear family, the lack of community facilities and co-operative living. We regret
the superficiality of our human relationships within the suburban street, living near
neighbours we didn’t choose, the isolation of the non-working wife and the lack of
continuous playmates for the children. Others primarily concerned with education are
dissatisfied with the alienation between learning and living as well as with the forms and
content of education. They see our intended community as an educational community: a
community that finds life and richness in the pursuit of individual and community
development.

We plan to create a community education environment, a centre for learning how to live.
We seek to create a learning environment that facilitates full realisation of the members
potential, a centre that involves people of all ages, where learning is throughout life and
integrated within one’s living situation. We base our learning on our environment and the
people with whom we live.
