We are really excited to share that we are a finalist in the South Island Property People Awards. Thank you to all those that contributed to the construction of our community centre - the team of dedicated volunteers, Calder Stewart and their contractors, Octa, and those that contributed funding towards it. It's been incredibly rewarding to see the impact it has had on the district with the community use of the facility and the events we can now bring to the Clutha District.

Looking for an office? We have 3 office studios available for rent in our Co-work space. There are 2 x 1-2 person studios and 1 x 3-4 person studio. Included in the rental is the use of the shared Co-Work facilities (kitchen, barista coffee machine, printing, wi-fi, and toilets). Not to mention the networking opportunities and the variety of events happening in the facility. Contact Mary at mary@tpoma.nz for more information.

We were awarded one of the top in our category with Excellence in the Warren and Mahoney Civic, Health and Arts category. This was a large category with Takina - Wellington events centre taking out the top honour. To say we are proud is an understatement. The property awards are the largest in the industry in New Zealand, with 141 nominations across 11 categories, with 1500 guests celebrating. There were incredible projects from all across Aotearoa, showing how they are enhancing the communities in which they are located.
