Collett's Corner
April 8, 2019
A community minded development
This one of a series of explainer videos for the Collett's Corner New Zealand's first crowd funded commercial property development. The project mixes social good and commercial gain. So how do the finances work? and if you invest what can you expect as a return? This video explains the basics.
There are important lessons here for those watching New Zealand's own homegrown platforms which are taxpayer supported through NZ on Air. Whether freeview or payview, what are we actually seeing and why? what are we actually paying for and why? Are we simply paying millions to subsidise commercially fragile kiwi media platforms or are we paying to ensure a future for kiwi made factual content? These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
The property was purchased by Habitus Group for the development of six new sustainable homes. But before they could start any new builds on the site they had to deal with the old and what job! Check out the Habitus link below.
