Community Buildings at Tuntable Falls

Tuntable Community Hall

The Co-op bought the lands of Tuntable Falls as existing farms, and consequently there are buildings which were part of these farms which are now community assets. These include:

  • Davies Bails
  • Garden House
  • Brown House
  • Sam’s House (now The Healing centre)
  • White House (now Tuntable Falls Pre-School)
  • The Tea-Bails
  • Bosel’s Bails
  • Tin Shed
  • Waterpark House

The White House was converted into the Tuntable Falls Pre-School in 1979, and Sam’s House has been set up for use by members with health needs for 240v power and good access.

The Tea-Bales was used by the school as a music room until recently, its new purpose is yet to be decided. Bosel’s Bails is periodically used for car wrecking and repair and will soon be redeveloped to store the community striker (fire vehicle), tractor and farm equipment. The Brown House is the headquarters of Flowtrack, an electronics business. Waterpark is rented as a residence. There is a car/machinery pit at the North End for use by Tuntable residents.

Tuntable Falls Primary School (built and opened in 1981), Tuntable Community Hall (started in 1982 and still building), the Tuntable Community Centre (1983) and the Fire Shed (1994) buildings were built and are owned by the Co-op, and we are very proud of them.

The Rainbow Café was a popular café in Nimbin village, which was owned and operated by the Co-op. A devastating fire in 2014 destroyed the café among other businesses, and now the site in Cullen Street remains a vacant block and asset of the Co-op.
