If you haven't heard of the organisation, Kamo Community Inc (KCi), is a bunch of volunteers with a big common goal - enhancing Te Kamo as a great place to be, whether you live, work, or play here. 🏡💼🎉
KCi is about teamwork and working hand in hand with the Te Kamo community , local groups, local government, and businesses to make and implement a plan for Te Kamo and celebrate Te Kamo's history.

They're cooking up a cool thing called the Te Kamo Concept Plan. 📝 It's a flexible roadmap for the next 10 years, filled with ideas and actions, full of short-term and long-term projects to make Te Kamo shine. It's all about dreams and inspiration.

There are LOTS of questions to ask, and your input is needed!

KCi wants parts of this plan to be a part of the WDC Long Term Plan. Council's already on the move, and if we're not in the mix, we may miss out. So, time's ticking!

The reason for this post is to invite you to join in! Fill out the questionnaire linked below or just share your thoughts, your cool ideas about Te Kamo, or even suggest projects you'd love to see. Do you know someone who might be super into this? Send them our way!

Storage Ideas For The Bathroom

Jane Mander Retirement Village

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.
