COA is the only organisation in Australia which provides an avenue where Australians can come together, pool resources and affordably own their own share of this great big, beautiful country of ours. The more people that invest in COA means the more properties it can buy for members collective use. This is the COA vision.

As described in the rules, 'the primary activity of COA, is the acquisition of land for Camping and Outdoor activities, permanent and temporary Accommodation'.  

COA does NOT expect members to be a part of any committee, run raffles or do working bees as we understand life is busy enough. The purpose of COA is to provide the land, which is appropriate for you to go camping, or to participate in your favourite activity in the great outdoors, or grow your own food on your tiny house plot and much more. 

Camping properties are to be small undeveloped short stay off grid parcels of land, which are to be located all around Australia. Being a shareholder could mean you could travel around Australia and stop at COA Coop properties, which you would partly own and most likely be free to camp or depending on the property you might  be required to pay just a few dollars to contribute to maintenance costs.

Outdoors properties are to be large parcels of land, which are to be located within a few hours of Australia's major regional centres and are to be specifically for off-road recreation use by MVs - Motor Vehicles (automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, etc), RVs - Recreational Vehicles (motor homes, camper trailers, caravans, etc) and ROVs - Recreation Off-highway Vehicles (buggy, side by side vehicle, utility terrain vehicle, etc).

Accommodation properties are to be acreage land in regional areas, which are developed as mixed-use residential estates/ parks. These estates/ parks are to accommodate permanent sites for homes, which are trailerable or transportable and temporary sites for visitors in caravans, motorhomes, etc.

Distributing Cooperatives must by law must produce a Disclosure Statement, which is a bit like a prospectus. This is the main document to determine what sort of investment you’ll be making if you were to become a member and buy shares. The document includes a section on risk, which you should pay particular attention to (although all parts of the document need your attention, so don’t just read the risk section!). View the COA Coop Disclosure Statement.

Once you have read, understood and accepted the Rules, Disclosure Statement and any associated documents, you'll first need to become a COA Coop Shareholder Member. Shareholder Membership to COA entitles you to purchase shares in COA Coop properties and use the properties for their intended purposes. Become a COA Coop Shareholder Member today!

Once your membership has been approved, you can then head to the COA Coop Store and purchase COA Coop Investor Shares. The minimum purchase requirement is 10 x $250 shares. You can buy more than the minimum shares and in fact you could own up to 20% of the coop. More shares means you could receive substantial returns when and if a shareholder dividend is paid. Once you have been approved as a COA Coop Shareholder Member and logged into the site, you can Purchase Shares in the COA Coop
