Meet the DEAL Community

Wellington, New Zealand

I am a Senior Advisor in the Planning and Reporting team at Me Heke Ke Pōneke - Wellington City Council, Te Whanganui o Tara - Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. We are developing a data model based on Doughnut Economics and the SDGs with the goal that we make better decisions for our residents and our city, now and into the future. I welcome any advice or information that will help with the development and application of the data model. I am very appreciative of the resources available on DEAL and the support from the wider DEAL network.

We are a residents association turned CIC currently carrying out re-greening work, helping each other to 'eco' our homes, and attempting to establish a not for profit community workshop facility at Central London's last working dry dock. SDMBHA's (South Dock Marina Berth Holder's Association) workshop facility's key aims are to build a robust and supportive community, safeguard affordable boat maintenance for residents and building a sustainable marine industry for local people. To achieve this we hope to build a 'marine centre of excellence', the first phase of which is a tool hire and workshop space with taught classes focusing on equality, skill sharing repair and reuse. This facility will also benefit the larger communities with classes and events that work towards social cohesion and circular economies. We'll also be partnering with other organisations for mutual support and to reach as far as possible. As for my personal role in all of this, I am a resident and the project director for this workshop. -S
