Approval received from council for retreat centre and community dwelling plans!

We now have the green light on our council application for the Ren Xue retreat centre and community dwellings on the farm in Golden Bay!  
A huge milestone for the project!

The process of making our Resource Consent Application (RCA) has been quite the journey - from our early assessments of the farm in Onekaka, to our draft designs for the Retreat Centre, through to negotiating the final set of conditions with our local Council. 
So what does this mean for the project? 
It means we can now develop our detailed plans for both our Community Living, and the Retreat Centre, before we head into the building consent process. Getting our RCA approved is a significant milestone for the project, a celebration well worth savouring, but by no means the end of the consenting journey! 

Please join us in celebrating this achievement with your heartfelt gratitude for all those who have helped us along the way this far and to all those who will continue to help in the future.
