Our Focus
+ Truly align – CONNECT, GROW together, SHARE our lives.
+ Develop entrepreneurship & a localised economy.
+ Increase connection, communication & mutual support.
+ Develop new ways to share local products & services within community – then to our region, as well as larger niche markets.
We live in a unique, undisturbed, natural part of the world – full of resources, potential & talented people.
We don’t need to bring our region into immense debt or multi-national corporate contracts that have no real benefit for everyday locals.
Southern New Zealand can provide, food, clothing & services for it’s own region; as well as nationally & internationally.
It is time to re-evaluate what Southern New Zealand has to offer, & roll out a localised, enterprising, creative, clever, fulfilling plan.
