Castlemaine Community Investment Co-operative

Castlemaine Community Investment Co-operative We are a co-operative working to purchase local properties to make them community owned, for good!

We are a group of residents working together to purchase and manage local properties, taking them out of the speculative real estate market, to make them community owned. Our mission is to provide opportunities for local people to invest in community real estate assets to:
- tackle the economic inequality being generated by outside real estate investment and profit extraction, and
- ensure our val

uable community assets continue to support things we value, for example, locally owned services, fair access to housing, and action on the climate crisis. Our vision is for the community to collectively control its real estate assets. Our success will mean more money staying in our community, more support for the businesses and organisations we know and love, and greater opportunity for locals to shape our town’s development.
