MEDIA | TUESDAY 27-MAR-2012 | Murundaka Cohousing featured in The Age

 

Murundaka Cohousing had a feature article in Melbourne broadsheet The Age on Tuesday 27th March. 

 

The rise of cohousing is mentioned in the context of new research about social isolation:

 

A new report from public policy think tank the Grattan Institute has found Australians are more isolated and lonely than ever. With the number of single-person dwellings now the fastest-growing household type and the number of people over the age of 85 predicted to quadruple to 1.8 million in the next four decades, social isolation posed as big a problem to older Australians as health and income declined, the institute said.
