SUMMARY:NZ Webinar: Introducing the Mutual Value Framework
DESCRIPTION:As its cornerstone event for the UN International Year of Cooperatives 2025\, Cooperative Business NZ is delighted to launch the Mutual Value Measurement (MVM) Framework© to its members. \nThe MVM Framework is the world’s first accredited framework for measuring the total value created by co-operatives\, mutuals and member-owned firms\, helping them articulate their mutual value through a set of common dimensions and shared language. \nCo-operatives and mutuals benefit from being able to identify and communicate the difference they make to customers\, members\, markets and the wider community. However\, this can be challenging\, because the common financial metrics of corporate success are not easily applied when there is a mutual business purpose. By viewing the organisation through the lens of mutual value\, co-ops and mutuals can systematically identify\, measure and report on the value they create. \nJoin Co-operative NZ to learn why the framework was developed; the six dimensions of mutual value used in the framework and hear case studies of how incorporating MVM into impact measurement\, strategy and KPIs has helped co-ops and mutuals to identify the total mutual value created – and gain a genuine competitive advantage. \nDate: Thursday\, 13 February 2025 \nTime: 12 – 1 pm (NZST) \nVenue: Online\, link coming soon. \nCost: Free

SUMMARY:BCCM study tour report findings and policy recommendations webinar
DESCRIPTION:In 2024 the BCCM led a study tour of Copenhagen\, Vienna and Zurich – cities with a high proportion of affordable housing co-operatives – to look for ideas to help solve Australia’s housing crisis. \nA growing proportion of Australians are renting and there is a shortage of secure tenured\, affordable housing for Australians who are unable to own. Housing co-ops fill this niche in many of the most liveable cities in the world. They are the mutual model of build to rent and the missing piece in the solution to Australia’s housing shortage. \nOur tour found that housing co-operatives can be accessible to a wide range of income households\, stabilising affordability and improving residents’ quality of life. The co-ops can pay for themselves\, be cost-neutral for the government\, increase the spending power of residents and positively impact local economies. \nIn October 2024\, the study tour report was published: What Australia can learn from European affordable co-operative rental housing models: A report on findings from the BCCM 2024 European Co-op Housing study tour. \nThe BCCM is holding a virtual presentation and discussion of the report findings and policy recommendations on Monday\, 9 December 2024\, 4 – 5 pm (AEDT)\, with report author Dr Sidsel Grimstad and Liz Thomas\, Chair of ACHA\, Executive Director of Common Equity Housing Ltd and tour participant. \nPlease register your interest to attend.

SUMMARY:Study tour of European housing co-operative sectors
DESCRIPTION:Key outcomes from the European housing co-operative sectors study tour\n\nWhat Australia can learn from European affordable co-operative rental housing models: A report on findings from the BCCM 2024 European Co-op Housing study tour\nUnlocking the “Missing Middle”: Lessons from the European co-operative housing sector\nFind out about BCCM study tours\n\n\nStudy tour\n\nVisit Copenhagen\, Vienna and Zurich\nExplore Europe’s large affordable co-op housing sectors for answers to the Australian housing crisis\nAn intimate learning experience\nSuitable for key decision makers with an interest in addressing the current housing crisis\, including: elected representatives and senior policymakers at all levels of government; philanthropic and community foundation representatives; superannuation executives; co-operative housing bodies; mutual housing lenders; and other co-ops and mutuals\nLearn from co-op housing experts in each country and by your guide Dr Sidsel Grimstad from Griffith Centre for Systems Innovation\nThe Tour is a collaboration between the BCCM and Griffith Centre for Systems Innovation\, Griffith University\n\nYou are invited to join the BCCM’s European co-operative housing study tour in April 2024. Visit Copenhagen\, Vienna and Zurich and learn about the housing co-operative model and its benefits. The tour will cover a variety of affordable co-operative housing models and examine financing mechanisms that have ensured the growth of these sectors. \nAustralia has a housing affordability and accessibility problem. The co-operative housing models can provide affordable\, secure\, sustainable\, empowering and community-oriented housing solutions and offer a vital contribution to help tackle this crisis. The rental housing co-operative model is a small but well-established part of the community housing sector in Australia\, but its advantages are not well known. The prevalence of shared or limited equity model of housing co-operatives\, in which residents contribute to the cost of housing\, is unknown in Australia. Rental and limited/shared equity housing co-operatives can offer a crucial “missing middle” to the available housing options. \nThis is a boutique tour with limited places\, which will enable close access and practical experiences with co-operatives and their leaders. The BCCM has a strong track record of informative\, purposeful and enjoyable study tours\, including a tour of UK mutuals and a US East Coast study tour of social care co-operatives and mutuals\, both in 2018. \nParticipants will:\n\nVisit housing co-operatives and meet with co-op housing members\, hear the stories of how they were developed and get a first-hand understanding of the benefits for residents of affordable co-operative housing.\nLearn about the development of the large affordable housing co-operative sectors and the financing and legal systems that made the growth of these sectors possible.\nObtain an understanding of the societal benefits and social impact of affordable co-operative housing. Assess how we can support the growth of housing co-operatives in Australia.\n\nThe tour will be guided by:\n\nDr Sidsel Grimstad– an academic at the Griffith Centre for SystemsInnovation with expertise on housing co-operatives and who has been a housing co-operative resident in Norway\nMelina Morrison – BCCM CEO\n\nItinerary\nCopenhagen\, Denmark (3 days incl. travel) \nIn Copenhagen\, we will primarily explore the rental housing co-op sector (Almene boliger)\, which offers affordable housing to 22 per cent of Danish households. It forms part of social housing and their model of tenant involvement in financial and maintenance management decisions is unique in Europe. We will visit a rental housing co-operative in CBD Copenhagen\, targeting disadvantaged groups in the housing market. \nVienna\, Austria (3 days incl travel) \nVienna has a long history of providing affordable housing to 40 per cent of its inhabitants through limited-profit housing associations. Around 20 per cent of the housing market comprises affordable rental cooperatives with strong public and private finance support. We will visit the Austrian Federation of Housing Associations\, individual housing span class=”word-wrap”>co-ops and also meet with city planners and financial institutions that have made the growth and stability of the sector possible. \nZurich\, Switzerland (3 days incl travel) \nZurich has strong government support for Limited-profit housing co-op development\, which comprises around 25 per cent of the housing sector. We will meet with the Federation for Zurich Co-operative Housing and visit individual housing co-operatives such as Kalkbreite\, Kraftwerk\, Heizenholz and Mehr Als Wohnen. \nCost and inclusions\n2024 indicative cost is AUD$19\,000.00 per person subject to internal European flight costs (excluding flights to and from Europe). \nParticipants are to make their way to Copenhagen.
