Our community has consistently come together to share knowledge, skills, and practical solutions. This Resources page brings together clear, accessible information to support understanding and informed participation.
Here you’ll find plain-English guides, info sheets, and background material — including a Plain English Guide to the WWCLT Constitution — to help explain how the Community Land Trust works and how people can engage.
Understanding Community Land Trusts: a growing resource series
WWCLT has created a library of plain English resources to help people understand the Community Land Trust model and how it’s being applied locally to create secure, permanently affordable housing.
Whether you’re a local resident, potential partner, or a community exploring your own CLT, these information sheets explain key aspects of the model in accessible language.
You’ll also find a Plain English Guide to the WWCLT Constitution, outlining how the WWCLT is structured, governed, and accountable.
As WWCLT evolves, this series will continue to grow, supporting informed decision-making and encouraging wider adoption of community-led housing across Australia.

WWCLT Short Film Playlist
Our region is facing a deepening housing crisis that is affecting local workers, families, and the social fabric of our towns. To help tell this story — and explore practical, community-led responses — WWCLT has partnered with local videographer Jay Black to produce a short film series focused on housing in our region.
The films feature interviews with local decision-makers, community members, and supporters, sharing lived experience, local insight, and informed perspectives. Together, they examine how Community Land Trusts can play a stabilising role in the housing market, helping ensure that people who work locally can continue to live locally, now and into the future.

Rents are rising, locals are priced-out, and essential workers can’t find a place to live. This short film shares the real stories behind Bellingen Shire’s growing housing crisis—and why we must act now to keep our community together. Made by Waterfall Way CLT Ltd with support from the Housing Matters Action Group Inc. With thanks to our filmmaker, Jay Black. Filmed on unceded Gumbaynggirr Country in late 2025.
Michael Mooney, Youth Hub Coordinator, shares a powerful and personal reflection on what the housing crisis means for young people in Bellingen Shire. In just a few minutes, he paints a stark picture of lost opportunities, shrinking futures, and the heartbreak of seeing the next generation forced to leave their hometown. This clip is part of Priced Out, a community-driven film exploring the real impacts of unaffordable housing in our region.
