Tell us your ideas, one idea at a time
Please keep it brief, as we may want to turn your idea into a poster.
Our Make/Shift Space at 263 Hardy Street has closed but we are still accepting your ideas.
We are now having a well earned rest & will be back with more ‘What if Whakatū Nelson…?’ in 2024
The Make/Shift Space “What if Whakatū Nelson…?” was open at 263 Hardy Street between 13 November and 17 December.
It was a space where the public could engage with ideas for how to create a vibrant, liveable city.
As the weeks progressed the space evolved with posters, displays, ideas and interactive exhibits.
It hosted 62 presenters, 29 talks and generated almost 300 ideas to help revitalise the central city and beyond.
