Looking for land / hall / space to lease
After 6 amazing years of renting the Huntleigh Girlguiding Centre, Crofton Downs, for our holiday programmes and Nature School we are on the hunt for a NEW and equally amazing locations for Everyone Out. We want to continue to run our programmes on the West / North side of Wellington City, probably somewhere between Karori and Johnsonville, so it won't be too far for our current families to travel to. This will also compliment our south coast location in Island Bay.
The location would need to be available to rent / lease during the school holidays and at least 2 school days each week during the term.
We are open to different options and would love the opportunity to develop a site. As our programmes are mostly outdoors we don't really need a hall but we do need shelter and somewhere dry to store our gear. As a minimum we need access to water and a toilet, an existing structure for shelter or permission to construct a structure and a storage shed. Grounds that have mixed terrain, some open flat grass, bush, some mature trees, would be great - a stream would be a bonus. If the area of land is small it must border a park or bush that can be freely accessed. The location must be accessible for vehicles not a long rough 4WD track.
So if you know any locations that you think would be perfect please let us know. We are willing to consider all options and an out of the box solution might just be perfect!!!!!!

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
