Kia ora koutou It’s really nice to have been given name that relates to the local environment as well as to our co-housing aspirations. I think there are a few toi ora programmes and organisations within the health and arts sectors, but that doesn’t necessarily detract from our adoption of it - we will develop our own connections to it.

Morena. See below response from Kāti Huirapa regarding the gift of a Māori name for High Street. For discussion at next weeks meeting please.

Our whānau would like to offer a name that we feel may be appropriate as a name for the High st co-housing kaupapa. The name is ‘Toiora’. Toi being a reference to the ‘Toitū’ stream which was situated nearby and ora meaning to be well. Toi also means the summit or pinnacle. Toiora as a word also means wellbeing. The establishment of co-housing is to create a healthy environment and the wellbeing of not only the complex but also its people. We believe this name is appropriate for this kaupapa and would like to gift this as a name for you and the whānau to consider. I happened to drive past the complex this morning and indeed it is not too far away until completion. I hope you and the whānau are well Donald and look forward to hearing back from you.

Toiora is a beautiful and thoughtful gift offered to us at our request from Huirapa. A vote on this would be neither appropriate or respectful.

More fence detail

Now we can get up close without bothering workmen… Note the green colour does have one unanticipated disadvantage — the dust shows up in dried raindrops. Hopefully the street won’t be as dusty in future, or else the house proud will be constantly out there doing wet dusting.

Posh fence panels and post

Re-installation is obviously a precision job, judging by all the equipment involved. Time for some publicity?
