The gompa plans have been finalised

Diamond Way Buddhism New Zealand prepared a proposal for a joint collaboration with Australia to build the gompa.  Buddhism Diamond Way Australia has agreed to donate and lend a large amount of the money required for stage 1 construction. Along with New Zealand fundraising efforts and some incredibly generous private donations we have enough money to start construction.

The owners of the land, the Diamond Way Buddhism Foundation (Buddhismmus Stiftung Diamantweg), have approved the New Zealand Diamond Way Buddhism Trust to build.

The contract with a local construction company, Totalspan, has been signed and council permissions are  in progress. We expect to have council permissions finalised in July and construction is due to begin by September.

If all goes as planned, phase 1 construction will be completed in December, giving us time to prepare to host the national course with Lama Ole in February or March 2016.
