Visitors and guests may stay at Tuntable Falls Community only at the invitation of a resident member. It is polite to inform the neighbours of guest or visitors staying where possible.
Driving speed limits
The Co-op has many kilometres of internal roads servicing residents. Residents and visitors are expected to drive safely at speeds under 15 km/h on all Co-op roads, and to be aware that there are horses and children using the roads, as well as wildlife.
Guest Rules & Levies
We ask for consideration of the privacy, peace and safety of everyone here on the Co-op at all times. As well as obeying all our Co-op rules and by-laws, guests are required to pay levies if they are here for more than three months.
Guests must leave if their presence is objected to by four or more members of the Co-op. Anyone who has been banned from the Co-op may not be invited back onto the property without prior written consent, decided at our co-op Tribal Meeting.
Requirements for Guests
Anyone wishing to live for an extended time on our community must also fulfil the following requirements:
- Be hosted by a resident active member. Your host will be responsible for any default by you of your obligations (financial or otherwise) while you are their guest.
- Be introduced to your neighbours by your host, as soon as possible.
- Be formally introduced to other Co-op members at the next Tribal Meeting on the next first Sunday of the month. On introduction, give an outline of your special skills and interests which could be called upon by the Board or other members. (such as mediation skills, computer, typing, yoga teaching, vehicle maintenance, organic farming expertise, childcare, performance etc).
- Pay at least half annual levy upfront, and pay the remainder by fortnightly instalments. (The probation time for prospective shareholders begins only from the date when half of that year’s financial levy is paid by them).
- Complete and return guest forms ASAP.
- Complete voluntary contributions obligations by the end of the financial year or earlier.
