the community feel able to come into the village and be part of its everyday life. The connection this brings for our residents is vital. It’s important that they can maintain a relationship with the wider community should they choose.” Kristin would like to highlight the collaborative relationships that have led to Olive Estate’s success over the past eight years.“We would like to thank our business and industry partners for their support.We are members of the Retirement Village Association of New Zealand (RVA). Being an independent operator, we are definitely in the nation’s minority- most of the operators are larger corporates, so we really appreciate the resources and expertise that they provide. We have a fantastic partnership with Scott Construction,Weir Architecture, and Luke Porter and Boffa Miskell. We have worked together right from the start with these companies, and they have helped to bring our vision to life.” Moving forward, Olive Estate has plans to finish late-stage construction on community buildings and amenities. Kristin concludes,“We probably have another five or six years of development left on the estate, which includes the construction of our care centre. That centre will cater for long-term rest home, dementia, and hospital level residential care. Over the next 12 months, we will finish its design, take on the building consent and legislation phase, and then spend abut three years building the project. There are some pretty big challenges in NewZealand at the moment for the aged care industry, primarily concerning funding and staff availability. It’s going to be a challenge to get that building up and running, but we are dedicated to providing these services for our residents on site so that, in the event they need long-term care, the transition is as smooth as possible. Overall, we are looking forward to what the future will bring!” Sca olding services in Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough & West Coast www.naylandscaffold.co.nz 0800 677 785 ✦ Commercial ✦ Mobile Towers ✦ Industrial ✦ Events ✦ Residential ✦ Safety Nets ✦ Marine & Bridges ✦ Encapsulation 65 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 06, ISSUE 03 OL IVE ESTATE
