Met with Vanessa Altun (EDQ) and Heather Howard (CBRE) regarding the Lease and EOI

They rejected my offer of $12529/yr for rent and came back with $13337.76 ex

Includes:

• Proportion of outgoings
• Cleaning
• Fire services
• Rates

Does NOT include water charges, which is the amount I deducted off their proposal so that would be billed separately. (approx $550-$650/mo)

They will be sending the amended rates doc this week. Fundamentally, the total outlays will be paid regardless of inclusion in the terms sheet.

I have a draft copy of the lease. Much the same as last one but without some of the silly things, will need review.

Meeting invite forthcoming for the EOI discussion.

Site visit last week. All safety concerns have been addressed and CBRE are glad to see progress.

Fire extinguishers will be up to date by the end of the month. Ongoing inspection is included in CBRE Rent.

Nick Klaassen of CBRE Facilities management has an access card for contractor access. General doors only, no tools access.

Strategy meeting 23/4/23 Discussed the high level goals.

• Develop Local Relationships
• Develop an emergency exit plan
• Achieve Charity Status
• Establish Store on Site
• Grow Membership

Membership retention discussion lead to the forming of a welcoming committee look at reducing the friction of becoming a member with a view that they would likely stay.

Developing Community relationships will be key to our EOI response, this can be multifaceted.

• Government recognition and influence
  • Local
  • State
  • federal levels
• Partnerships
• Arts (Superordinary)
• Similar organisations
• Brisbane Tool Library
• Repair Cafes

Mailout to all members was drafted, still to be sent, calling for action and to contact their local MP and other call to action.

We need all members to participate in the HSBNE Improvement process.
