At COA, we don't just plan—we execute. Our projects turn raw acreage into high-yield, high-tech, community-driven tiny house villages and crisis accommodation ecosystems. Through our unique four-entity model, we fast-track civil works, clear Council bottlenecks, and deliver standardized, resilient infrastructure across the Northern Rivers.
Active Development Pipeline
We manage our projects through a strict Phase-Gate System. This ensures every site moves from acquisition to active resident occupancy within a transparent 90-day execution window.

The 4-Phase Build Process
Every COA project is driven by a time-boxed, milestone-tracked development engine managed by Daryl and the COA leadership group:
[Phase 1: 0-30 Days] --> [Phase 2: 30-60 Days] --> [Phase 3: 60-90 Days] --> [Phase 4: 90 Days+]
Lease & Framework Council & Town Planning Civil Infrastructure Unit Deployment
(COA Land Trust) (Pre-DA & Concept Plans) (Charity Grants Deploy) (Land Lots Takes Over)
-
Phase 1: Framework & Lease (Days 0–30)
-
COA Land Trust executes a long-term lease with the private landowner, securing the legal authority to act, handle all Council negotiations, and remove liability from the owner.
-
-
Phase 2: Council & Design (Days 30–60)
-
Concept designs and site layouts are drafted. Town Planners are deployed, Pre-DA fees are paid, and we lodge for a mixed-use layout (Permanent Living Areas + Temporary Caravan Park status) to maximize site density.
-
-
Phase 3: Civil Infrastructure (Days 60–90)
-
COA Housing Charity deploys government grant funding and social impact capital directly into the dirt. COA Land Care begins site works, installing subterranean water vaults, solarports, and primary drainage.
-
-
Phase 4: Unit Deployment & Onboarding (Days 90+)
-
CabinTech (our exclusive primary manufacturer) delivers the tiny house units to the prepared pads. COA Land Lots steps in as the active Site Manager to onboard residents, handle day-to-day operations, and enforce the 4-hour community labor rule.
-
Standardized Village Infrastructure Specs
We do not build unmanaged settlements. Every COA project features an identical, high-tech engineering standard to ensure fire safety, flood resilience, and self-sufficiency:
-
Water Security: Every village is anchored by a 110,000L subterranean AFS Rediwall water vault equipped with integrated UV filtration systems.
-
Energy Independence: Powered by Alspec Solarports, providing structural vehicle shelter, localized grid-free power, and battery storage.
-
Asset Maintenance: Every site features a dedicated John Deere groundskeeping and maintenance fleet owned by COA Land Care to keep the property pristine and asset values high.
