County Kids and WOTSO

12/1/2020

5 Comments

 
More office space for Manly, and more funds for the country kids supported by childrens’ charity Royal Far West.

In a clever partnership,  Royal Far West is using its surplus buildings to raise funds to help kids in rural and remote Australia. Office space provider WOTSO is moving into the South Steyne buildings to provide co-working desks, office space & meeting rooms.  It’s a good fit, with the Northern Beaches home to a huge number of small businesses, including lots of small-scale, work from home arrangements.

​In the next few years  Royal Far West will develop its oceanfront buildings into something beautiful, that also provides a constant income for the charity.  But all that takes time, and the WOTSO partnership means the buildings are being maintained and put to good use in the meantime.

I would dearly love the new development to include retirement assisted living. There are many aging people who have lived in Manly all their lives, needing this accomodation.
There is Wesley Heights, which is aging and not of a high standard, and at the top of a very steep Raglan Street.
Accomodation on the level and with a pleasant outlook, near to the CBD and shops, would be a good business proposition.
It is such a dilemma for aging folk, especially those living alone, to move out of their home but to still be able to live in their beloved Manly.

I think this is a great idea and would love to see it happen. If necessary I would love to remain in Manly.
This suggestion would have my support.

The WOTSO office space is a great idea. But it is very disapppointing that excessively large and gaudy signage has been erected on the building opposite to advertise the space. I hope it isn't permanent. Is council permission required for such large signage?
I'm glad to hear that Royal Far West is planning to redevelop the oceanfront buildings into "something beautiful". And retirement living is a really good suggestion. But in the meantime could we ask that any changes to the existing buildings enhance, rather than detract from, their appearance?
