Alison Locke and Mike Moss moved to Nelson in March, but their home has been in a container for almost three years.

Breaking up the top 200mm. Here’s what just that shallow excavation is turning up.

Signalling a start on the redevelopment of our communal space. It was pivotal in Mike and Ali's move from Christchurch to Nelson.

The Littlego Stream includes an urban portion that runs close to Braemar Place & Braemar Ecovillage in Nelson South, Nelson. A significant section of the stream is culverted underground, while we have undertaken planting on the open-channel length of the stream.
 

The stream supports a healthy ecosystem including kokopu and koura. A small section of the stream’s bank has been planted, we wish to carry out further riparian planting.

"Usually a town became a city when it reached a certain population – 20,000 before 1989 and 50,000 thereafter. But the British monarch could proclaim a town a city by letters patent if it was the seat of a bishop. Christchurch became a city in this way in 1856 and Nelson followed in 1858."
