Colombo Street Clutter
A real pleasure to work with Habitus Group again, this time to capture a behind the scenes look at one of the most unique site clearances in Christchurch. 102 Colombo Street was known to many as the most cluttered home in Canterbury. The property was purchased by Habitus 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! The original house was almost buried in material collected over decades; everything from old cars and tyres, wood piles and bric a brac. It was a salvage, sort, dump or recycle job that lasted a full six weeks. Unbelievable, Check out the Habitus link above.

Farid makes a whistle stop tour of Nelson to speak with schools and community groups about Compassion and forgiveness. A survivor of the massacres at two Christchurch mosques in 2019, Farid is campaigning for March the 15th to be recognised as a day of compassion. He wants those who died to remembered for their love and not the hate visited upon their community by a lone gunman. In this video Farid speaks to:
For generations, the ancestral rock art of the Arowhenua people has been owned by others, with the land and limestone caves held in private ownership as part of a Gould family farm. Now after more than 170 years, Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua has purchased back the land and full access and ownership of their ancient taonga.
