Just to let you know that tomorrow (Thursday 8 October) there is going to be a "community-led housing discussion" held at the Athenaeum basement from 5-7pm, organised by Campbell O'Neill. There will be six speakers.
The suggested topics are :
- Camia, discuss Collet’s Corner and its successes and trials so far
- James, discuss the comparisons you’ve drawn between papakainga and cohousing - maybe in regard to whakapapa
- Barry, discuss your place in the various communities and how it relates to your knowledge of the finance sector
- David, discuss your views on how the public sector maybe able to assist in the community led space - drawing on DCC’s involvement with High Street?
- Anne, discuss the social and community infrastructure of the High Street project that is coming together - in regard to the codesign, codevelopment aspects
- Campbell, the idea of collecting people and drawing them together to a shared goal.

I'm sure that Campbell O'Neill, who is organising this, would be keen for more people to come along, and all of us would have a lot to contribute from personal experience about getting the Toiora project off the ground and almost ready to move in.
