Kia ora Donald,
Thank you very much for your email, i really appreciate the thought. Its amazing how fast things move and not long now until this co-housing vision opens its arms to families. I have forwarded the email to some of our other members to discuss a name and hopefully by mid/ late next week we will have a name and whakapapa to the name. Is that okay? Appreciate the involvenment in this kaupapa, kā mihi.

Tēnā koe Waiariki.
Kei te pēhea koe?
I trust that you and your whanau are in good health and have settled into your own new normal under lockdown conditions. I imagine this will mean loss of contact with some whanau and no fishing and surfing for you! Miriam and I took the decision a week ahead of the announcement to place ourselves in isolation and have not been off our property except for a flu jab last Wednesday and we are now well attuned to our home-based life.
I contact you on behalf of our Co-housing Otepoti whanau who are mindful of the initial decision by Ngāi Tahu Property to sell the former High Street School site to Urban Co-Housing Otepoti Limited for the development of our co-housing site. We also recognise your more recent participation in November 2018 when you generously gave your time and blessed our project prior to construction starting.
Since that time the High Street, Alva Street and common house blocks have been substantially completed and once site works recommence the fitting out and final ground works will complete the build. We are hope to be finished late 2020.
We again seek the guidance from Kāi Tahu through Kāti Huirapa regarding the possibility of a gift of a Māori name for our community and include here our kaupapa as an initial guide.
*Our vision is to create an urban cohousing neighbourhood, which promotes social and environmental sustainability, based on respect and shared responsibilities.Through robust eco-design and layout establish a cohesive community, which fosters wellbeing, diversity and the right use of resources.Develop and foster a thriving living environment, which uses clear communication, decision-making and conflict resolution guidelines that promote tolerance, safety, respect and co-operation.*
With the above in mind we would very much appreciate your thoughts on our request.
Ngā mihi nui.
Donald Shand (for UCOL)
