The Village Community Co-operative was established in the City of Prospect near Adelaide, South Australia in the late 1970s.
The co-operative was established as a multiple occupancy permaculture project at Kuipto Forest, south of Meadows.
The community held fairs and meetings in town, field days and workshops at Kuipto and in Prospect.
This evolved into Village Natural Technology Systems with a focus on solar, wind, sustainable house design, permaculture, books and workshops.
Village Natural Technology Systems moved to Prospect Road, Prospect in the early 1980s and the Co-operative owned store was opened by the Honorable John Bannon, Premier of South Australia, on November 26, 1983 [2] The Village Community Co-operative was also active in the anti-nuclear movement collaborating with CANE and Friends of the Earth to produce Your carry anywhere anti - uranium songbook for Australia.
