The Trundle Tree Change Project is based on the successful 'rent a farmhouse' scheme of Cumnock and was implemented to reinvigorate the small community and entice people to relocate to Trundle. By renting vacant farmhouses for $1 a week, the community aims to attract new families to the district to ensure the schools and businesses of Trundle survive.
The project has attracted widespread interest on a national and international level. Media interest has also been strong with Andrew Denton's film production company taking an interest in filming the process of the Rent a Farm House Scheme in Trundle. The television series was aired in 2012.
