A Drinking Fountain in Essex Reserve, Mt Eden Village
Our local community group the 'Mt Eden Village People' is keen to have a water fountain installed in Essex park as the village currently has no public access to drinking water - this will not only help parents (at the park) but also reduce the need to buy water and create plastic waste. We also thought it would be wonderful to have Eden Arts make a design or artwork that could decorate the fountain in some way, making it uniquely 'Mt Eden'.

Windmill Park Courts to have a sheltered area
The courts at Windmill Park are now awesome with the resurfacing done but when there on game nights for netball they can be a bit of a nightmare when it's raining (which is often during the winter netball season). Hundreds of young kids in our community with almost no shelter/protection from the rain before and after games. Would be awesome if a sheltered area could be added to the court facility.

#Food - from unused spaces to urban farms
Beyond environmental advantages and economical gains, Urban Farms would enable city-dwellers to reconnect with and value food. The current food system is wasteful, both before and after purchase. Both consumers and producers are taking for granted fruits and veggies, and close to half of them end up in bins. This overproduction is pillaging nutrients from the soil. At this rate the future of food looks bleak. Via the setup of small urban farms on berms, local parks and private backyard, a new narrative around the value of what we eat will be written. Other cities have begun the development of vertical farming to adapt to tight urban spaces. Many flat roofs have become opportunities to create food oasis, storing carbon and bringing back biodiversity. With nz$10000, we could set up a seed bank and create a small app allowing locals to connect and buy from each others. Small plots of land from under-used outdoor spaces - such as berms and golf courses - can be provided to people without backyard. Local co-operative farming can become the new norm.

More support for family in struggling
