Thought I had sent this to warren but not heard back. One or two things above the green line we were concerned about. maybe other people have agreed to this, of which we are unaware, but just to confirm:
1.Resident members are to attend Group meetings and koha time to one or more of the following:
* Participating in Work Groups. * Contributing to community working bees. * Helping prepare shared meals.
So the above means residents must attend meetings but the obligation to help prepare meals, be in work groups and go to working bees had been changed so all residents need to do is go to group meetings and put in time to one of the others? (meals or groups or working bees)
2. pets. (again, ad nauseum, I know) We welcome current (intended and actual) pets in our neighbourhood.
This was worded like this to allow sue to have her kitten when it is available. But someone else can simply say they 'intended' to have a pet and that is fine.
3. Remaining spaces are for resident and visitor short-term parking (< 48 hours). All parking within the gates has a maximum of 48 hours. We think the intention was Remaining spaces are for residents; or for visitor parking of less than 48 hours
Thanks roz and michael
Hi all,
I too was wanting to comment on the pets.
Once we are all moved in, with our furry friends, my understanding was that further pets would be discouraged (or not allowed, except that it rather rule-like) because we actually need to find out how many pets our neighbourhhod can handle.
So I would be suggesting that in 6 months we change the pet policy to an upper limit on cats and dogs, certainly not a blanket welcome to any and all.
I hope residents' participation will be enthusiastic rather than aiming for the bare minimum, and judging by our working bees so far, I reckon my optimism us not totally idealistic, but based on experience.
As for parking, I am sure it is one we will be adjusting as we discover what will work. Like habitual seats in a meeting (or in church), I suspect we will find ourselves going back to the same parks when that is possible
Also the agreement should refer to the "Commons Development Fund" as it is referred to in the Body Corp Rules definitions. That highlights that this fund represents our joint ownership of and enjoyment of what we own in common and benefit from together.

Hi Roz and All,
The plan is to discuss everything 'above the line' at our next regular meeting.
As far as I am aware, the areas highlighted in yellow are up for discussion as they have been edited since the initial read through some weeks ago.
In response to your items, this is how I see the current group intention:
1. Yes, a consensus seems to be developing that while attending Group meetings is obligatory (so that no one misses out on important discussion/decisions), members are free to choose the tasks that suit them, and the community, best when volunteering their time.
2. We were reminded that Claire also intended to have a pet at Toiora, but doesn't have one now because of her circumstances. After the wishes of Sue & Claire have been fulfilled I expect this text one of the first parts to be edited in the Agreement.
3. I'm not sure of the group feeling on this; I'm sure discussion will lead to the most appropriate text.
I'm looking forward to resolving these and any other issues at the next meeting.
Cheers
Warren
