Makerspace for Flaxmere/Hastings

Emma from Flaxmere

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!

A total fire ban is in place for Hawke's Bay covering the entire East Coast from East Cape to Takapau.

The prohibited fire season came into effect at 8am Wednesday due to extremely dry vegetation in the area. Principal Rural Fire Officer Trevor Mitchell, says that the dry conditions and high temperatures in the region would make a fire difficult to control.
"Weโ€™ve enjoyed the lovely hot summer days, some places in the Hawkeโ€™s Bay got up to 40 degrees, but itโ€™s also meant lots of the vegetation and forestry in the area has dried out," he says.

What you need to know:
- You cannot light an outdoor fire.
- Gas and charcoal barbecues are permitted.
- Individuals that operate heavy machinery are advised to exercise caution when out in dry terrain. Fire crews advise to undertake work in cooler temperatures and in minimal wind.

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
