8 McLean Street Waitara

Previously know as 'The Corso Shop' At 8 McLean Street Waitara, We are now - 'The Waitara Project'. The 'Waitara Corso Shop' was set-up in response to the idea of providing a recycling venue for Waitara. At the time of the rebuild of the Waitara dump we proposed to the NPDC - such a centre. However, the NPDC could not envisage what we meant, so we walked away and set-up the first shop at 4 West Quay [in the old garages]. We had achieved two things at that time; getting the 'dump-site' off the banks of the Waitara Rivers edge and setting up our own recycling community centre. We set up 'Just Books and Pictures' at 8 McLean Street - Independent of the 'Main Shop' and exclusively for Books, music and pictures. We moved the Main Shop to 57 McLean Street [The old Sharrocks Showroom]. Then in 2010 we added a new section onto the back of the 8 McLean Street Shop and combined the Books and the 'Main Shop' together. All this time we operated as a group within Corso Incorporated. And now with Corso Incorporated restructuring the National Organisation, all affiliated groups agreed to hold their own legal identity.
