Makerspace for Flaxmere/Hastings
Here's my idea; a Maker Nest or Ohanga Mahi at the village (or in town), as an open space to sew/weave/build and sell products/produce. This could mean attending workshops and operating workstations in areas of interest; or working form home creating pieces that retail through the shop, and contributing a commission. This might require forming a committee, drafting an operational model (navigating healthsafety/consent), and networking partner organisations;
the Environment Centre is positive about branching, the HDC is open to planning a cultural development for the village, and nationally NZ is moving with legislative tools to fund community resource recovery facilities.
Who out there has time/interest to invest in something like this? Would our community benefit from this sort of facility? What do you think!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
