The downsides appear to be land supply, red-tape with council and difficulty getting lending from banks. If you're willing to share your experience - good or bad - email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, otherwise leave a comment. Is there an aspect of transportable housing you'd like us to enquire about for you?

In 1925 Helen Keller, a woman who had been blind and deaf since childhood, challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind" in a crusade against darkness. Lions accepted Helen’s challenge and there are now a number of programmes that Lions are involved with worldwide, particularly in third world countries.
If you have old spectacles lying around that you dont use they may be of use to others.
Useful items are labelled, packaged and passed on to Volunteer Ophthalmologist Services Overseas (VOSO) for distribution to those with poor eyesight in the Pacific Islands.
VOSO consists of teams of eye surgeons, optometrists and eye care workers who visit the isolated communities and bring enhancement to the lives of hundreds of people annually. The project has provided over 80,000 pairs of glasses which would have a replacement value in excess of $15 million

I have over ten years experience in Metal fabrication and do it now as a hobby at home.
I’m looking to expand what I do to the wider community and offer to make, repair or modify almost anything made from metal, I am limited to mild steel, for now, due to what tools I have and mainly deal with tube projects.
Here is an example of a table I made for our BIG veg pod.
If anyone wanting something made out of tube, like a chair frame etc, please send me a message and I will get back to you and hope to help.
Too many to list here - I suggest you go to the MBIE website:rb.gy...
