Hi team: note the later start time as Centre occupied earlier. See attached agenda. Given having twice deferred Warren's document, we have decided to make this the first item of the agenda after Appreciations. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night. Please let Sander or myself know if you plan to attend via Zoom so we are looking out for you. Best wishes meantime, Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O.

Honey Comb Blinds
by Tim Ross 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi All, It has taken some time but we now have a sample Energate upvc window frame set up in Active Interiors in Mornington. Probably best if each household goes in and organises their order direct from Active if interested. Cheers, Tim.

Project Status Update & access to our units
by High St Cohousing 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hi all, Just a quick update on the project status as I understand that a few people are wondering when they can have access to finish their units. Friday was SWs last day on site, they have removed all their belongings, etc. This week, there are still a few contractors doing some work on site and Tim is doing the second defects inspection (common areas and M units). Paperwork for *Practical Completion* is underway (Stefan and SW are sorting out things). Once Practical Completion Certificate is issued, we need our own body corp insurance to take place. Once that is done, SW have a few weeks to address the defects list, so they will be going back to fix/adjust things in the list. But the site will be under our management, they will have access to do the work but it is our responsibility to have insurance in place. Final Inspection went well on Friday with paperwork being sorted to apply for *Code of Compliance* soon. Tomorrow the ADMI group will meet at 5:45 at the common house to plan our steps forward. After our meeting we will be reporting to the group on steps and dates planned for individuals to organise painters, wardrobes, curtains, etc. Thanks, Maria -- *Maria Callau* *TOIORA* High Street Cohousing UCOL Member and Project Coordinator 0211847490

by Jessica Shields 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Kia ora fellow Cohousers, For anyone interested, I have an exhibition at The Artist's Room opening this Saturday (13th March), 12-2pm. The exhibition runs until the 27th March. The Artist's Room is open 10-5 Mon-Fri, and 12-2 Sat. See below for images of my works in the show (although of course they're much better to look at in person, so you should really come along to the gallery to see them properly :)). Hope people had fun walking through their new home yesterday! Jess

re draft agenda for thurs 11th march 2021
by mariannequinn＠xtra.co.nz 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi team: It was wonderful to go through our Unit on Saturday and I'm sure others share that excitement. However, we're not quite there yet - so: attached is a rough draft agenda for this Thursday. Please send any additional items to me asap. Please note that Warren has asked for 45 mins to hopefully conclude the 'Living together' agreement. If the list of other things is too long, some things may need to wait till the 4th Thursday of this month ( no meeting next week as it's the Directors' meeting). Best wishes meantime, Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O. Box 20, Dunedin 9054 ph +6434773115 or 0211612050

08 Mar '21

Hi folks- not everyone was able to make last night's presentation so here's a few notes from my jottings to quell your curiosity! Others in attendance, please add to this. I expect we might discuss this at this week's meeting, or at the very least, have a 'minute of record'. Thanks very much to those who organized this most informative event. Fingers crossed for a moving date soon - Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O. Box 20, Dunedin 9054 ph +6434773115 or 0211612050

Fwd: Important update about your connection
by Y Lee 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Hi all & heads up to Alex. Just received this message for my broadband installation. It seems that Chorus needs neighbourhood consent to connect up the Fibre through shared access areas. They may choose to contact UCOL, since the site is still held by the company. Just a heads up... Regards Min ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Orcon <info(a)comms.orcon.net.nz> Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2021, 8:46 am Subject: Important update about your connection To: Yu-min Lee <yblees685(a)gmail.com> <http://url.app.prd.vocusgroup.co.nz/track/click/30641227/www.orcon.net.nz?p…> Consent required Hi there, Your local fibre installer (they are the company which does the physical install of the fibre) has notified us that before they can begin laying fibre at the property, they require consent from some other property owners. Typically this is because your property is down a shared drive way/right-of-way or because you’re part of a multiple-unit dwelling. The installer will work to contact these parties to get consent—there’s no action required on your part. They’ll do this as quickly as possible, but depending on how promptly they can get responses, this process could take several weeks. Hang tight, the fibre installer will be working away to get all the paperwork done as fast as they can. Privacy rules around who has given consent and who hasn’t make it difficult for us to give detailed progress reports but we’ll pass on any updates we receive. As always, you can also check out My Orcon <http://url.app.prd.vocusgroup.co.nz/track/click/30641227/www.orcon.net.nz?p…> for extra detail and the latest updates.

FW: re dogs etc and the neighbourhood
by mariannequinn＠xtra.co.nz 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

Morena all: in response to Rosemarie’s email re cats that call the old school site ‘home’ and her dogs loving to chase cats, I wrote to her seeking some assurances around fencing etc. John Reynolds, Rosemarie’s son in law and husband of her daughter Jane, as the owners of the two dogs in question, responded to me and is happy for that to be shared with the group. As John says, they very much want to be good neighbours, and that includes managing their dogs around our property. I hope that will put people’s minds at ease. Best wishes for the week ahead – Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O. Box 20, Dunedin 9054 ph +6434773115 or 0211612050 From: John Reynolds <john.reynolds(a)otago.ac.nz> Sent: Thursday, 4 March 2021 7:00 PM To: mariannequinn(a)xtra.co.nz Cc: Jane Reynolds <jane.reynolds(a)voland.co.nz>; Rosemarie Smith <rose(a)voland.co.nz> Subject: Re: re your email Kia ora Marianne, Thank for your email to Rosemarie, which she has forwarded to Jane and I as co-owners of No. 31. Since Jane and I own the dogs it is fitting that we reply. Firstly let me assure you that we have no intention of generating anything other than a good neighbourly feeling, and that we are planning for fencing all of the outside areas that our dogs will be released into. When we take the dogs anywhere outside our fenced areas now, we always have them on a leash, so again that should meet your request. We cannot, of course, give a gilt-edged assurance that there will never be an occurrence where one or other dog inadvertently makes a dash to the Toiora area when transferring to the car etc, just as much as you could not guarantee that cats will never go over the fence and into our areas where the dogs could be. We will, however, do whatever we can to ensure this doesn’t happen. We have always had good relationships with our neighbours with us having dogs and them cats, hence I can’t see why it would be any different with our house being neighbours of residents at Toiora. Look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks.

I’m sure, as with some of the humans who liked to use the ‘empty’ space, we’ve displaced quite a few. While I appreciate your concern about cats fighting, I would like to have your assurance that given that your dogs love chasing cats – which can result in death, not only injuries – that your property will be securely fenced and that your dogs will be on leads anytime they’re at Toiora. I expect that would contribute to ‘good neighbourly feeling’, while the converse most certainly will not! Thanks for assuring me of this.

more notes from last nights talk
by Jeffrey Robinson 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Hi everyone Catherine and I have also written notes from last night meeting, although we did it only from memory while Marianne was taking notes at the time (thank you Marianne). There are probably important details Catherine and I have forgotten, if anyone wants to add to the notes from their memories feel free (in a different colour) and send them to me and I will collate them.
