So many of you have suggested we buy the block ourselves, that we are attempting just that. We’ve raised over $50,000 so far on the crowdfunding campaign and the media are now very interested in the story. What an amazing community you are! Thank you. Check out our crowdfunding video here and share it with all your networks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMFPm7_LZc It is a very ambitious target, and we only have 23 days left until the tender ends (12th February). But we’re positive! There are 4450 of you that have supported this campaign so far. If everyone donated $225 we would blast our $1m target. Of course, this is not possible for everyone. There have been several of donations of $1000 and more! These support donations less than $225, but we really need you to contribute whatever you can. There have even been some naysayers that accuse us all of nimby-ism. Can we rely on you to put your money where your heart is? Please pledge generously. We know we cannot buy the block with $1m but we can provide a hefty chunk towards a community bid in partnership with either local Council or State Government or a philanthropist. Review the crowdfunding page for more detailed information on the plan. Let’s show them we mean business, vote with your wallets as well as your fingers. Time is running out for us to save this iconic tourist hotspot and it may be lost forever Go to: www.ozcrowd.com/heart - please pledge generously! - Council meet to decide fate of block Shoalhaven City Council are holding an extraordinary meeting this Thursday, 22 at 4pm, at Council Chambers in Nowra to decide if they will buy the block. There are 13 councillors that vote, led by Mayor Joanna Gash Having as many people as possible in the audience, to show support for this cause, will only help. Will council decide to buy the block? Write to or phone your councillors to tell them what you think between now and the meeting.
