Our mission is to solve the Housing Crisis in Northern NSW - FigTree Farm Collective soon to announce Social Enterprise certification
FigTree Farm Collective has been working quietly since 2019 to establish a scalable model of delivering quality, affordable, Future Proof Homes in the Northern Rivers of NSW.
Our systems and processes for designing safe, affordable housing have evolved organically since we started. We have learned a lot. And now we are ready to scale our impact and set our sights on solving the Housing Crisis in Northern NSW. We have completed an exhaustive R&D process and achieved build times from as little as 12 weeks. All designs are engineer approved existing designs modified to use case and custom floor plans. Our vision is bold - Solve the Northern Rivers Housing crisis.
“At FigTree Farm Collective we place the wellbeing of the community at the heart of what we do. We know that if a young family or a single mother has housing security they can thrive as a tenant and make plans for the future that benefit themselves, their family and the whole community”
Our next chapter
In early 2025 FigTree Farm Collective will officially become a Social Enterprise.
What is a social enterprise?
“Social enterprise is business at its best. They are innovative businesses that work to create a fairer and more sustainable world. There are an estimated 12,000 social enterprises in Australia contributing to 206,000 jobs and $21.3 billion to our economy.”
A social enterprise:
Has a defined primary social, cultural or environmental purpose consistent with a public or community benefit
Our purpose is to end the Housing Crisis in Northern NSW
Derives a substantial portion of income from trade
We have been trading since 2019 investing in the creation of safe, affordable, Future Proof Homes for residents in the Northern Rivers
Invests efforts and resources into purpose such that public/community benefit outweighs private benefit.
We are blessed to have many tenant success stories that demonstrate community impact time and time again. We believe that people need community connection and housing security as a basic human rights to thrive.
Once housing security is established, our tenants create circular social and economic outcomes for the greater good
Operate across various industry sectors
Our focus remains on superior design, building materials and the creation of beautiful, functional Future Proof Homes within the Northern Rivers.
Homes are designed to utilise renewables lowering cost of living expenses and blend natural interior palettes with highly functional design.
Advanced technology and integrated resource systems demonstrate affordability, more predictable build times (12 weeks on average) and resilience over traditional building process, materials and methods, meeting FigTree Farm Collective’s Social Ethos.
Harnessing the circular economy Future Proof Homes attain positive social, economic and environmental outcomes.
Through thoughtful engineering and design, Future Proof Homes are arguably more resilient to climate change and increasingly destructive weather events, simultaneously improving occupant comfort and security.
Future Proof Homes exhibit improved social ,financial and environmental outcomes that both enrich and support local community while re-investing profits into solving our Housing Crisis
