Noonameena – Bicheno

Noonameena will bring people together, like minded in their goal to live sustainably and harmoniously, from a diverse range of backgrounds and age groups.

‘Noonameena’ is a Trouwerner* word that describes ‘bush sleeping place’, a fitting description for our haven only 15 minutes walk from the centre of Bicheno. This unique place is bordered by Deep Hollow Creek on its eastern side and state reserve on its south. Only 5 mins walk from the beautiful Redbill Beach, the property is rich with tall gum trees and a diverse understorey. As Bicheno has grown, Noonameena has remained a tranquil oasis.

Our family has been working since 2018 to bring our vision for a modest, sustainable development to life. One that is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding environment.

Eight new homes built on 350 square metre plots, alongside Moonya Cottage and an existing residence, will create a total of 10 strata titles. This community-oriented development offers established shared edible garden spaces, and a natural habitat for local wildlife.

After over five years of planning we are now ready to invite you to join us as we prepare the site ready for the first houses to be completed in early 2025.

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional and continuing custodians of Trouwerner, a place that its original people have cared for since the beginning of time.

We honour elders, past and present, and pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, families, and friends.

*Trouwerner was the name used by Tasmania’s Eastern Nations to describe Tasmania. In respect to the memory of the Eastern people and their descendants, we have chosen to use it in place of Lutruwita and Palawa.
