This page has been created to outline the process to appoint director's to the Collett's Corner Ltd Board.
Process
There can be up to five directors on the Collett's Corner Ltd board. Four of the five directors can be appointed by Founding Shareholders, and one director can be appointed by Investor Shareholders.
The candidates for the Investor Shareholders to vote on are listed below. As well, the directors appointed by the Founding Shareholders are also listed below.
The public shareholder register can be viewed here. Make sure your fellow shareholders vote!
Voting
Voting is open here and closes September 9th at 5pm.
Only Shareholders can vote.
We need a majority of shareholders to vote for a preferred candidate to appoint a director to the board. To read the full list of shareholder rights please refer to the Collett's Corner Constitution here.
While each shareholder casts a single vote, their vote is weighted relative to the proportion of shares they hold.
Questions and Answers
1How much time will Director's need to full-fill the position?
In the beginning we anticipate directors will need some time to get up to speed with the project, so more time will be needed in the initial 3-6 months. To start with, we estimate a monthly meeting of up to 2 hours with reports provided in advance that may take 1-2 hours to read prior to the meeting.
After the director's are up to speed with the project, we anticipate quarterly meetings of maximum 2 hours each and reports provided in advance which may take up to 2 hours to read.
2Are directors remunerated?
We have budgeted a total of $15,000 to be shared among the directors per year. Directors will have the authority to distribute this among themselves as they choose.
3What is required of the directors?
This is a governance role only. The directors will appoint a project steward to oversee the day to day requirements of the project.

Julie Villard
Director Candidate
Julie Villard is a French architect with 12 years of experience. She is a goal oriented person and not afraid of new challenges. Julie has a passion for architecture, technology and sustainability, building her skills and knowledge in France, Canada, Switzerland and for the past eight years, New Zealand.
She is the welcoming face of the Council’s Eco design advisor new service, where people can consult on a range of projects from new builds to home renovations. She provides free and independent advice for individuals, professionals and within the Council. She advocates for a better living by creating healthier buildings. Her main drive is to encourage to do better and to do it now.
Julie also ‘’walks the walk’’ - with her partner, they designed & built their home in Lyttelton, following the eco-friendly principles she provides during her free consultation. The couple was known in Lyttelton, as the ‘’bus people, with the spa’’ as they lived on site, in an 11m Bedford house-bus during the building process. Her 9-star home won a prestigious Architectural Award, the 2019 ADNZ Regional Winner in the category “residential compact new home”. Press Article here.
Julie provided 'the Hive' (the winning design for the Collett's Corner competition) advice for sustainable design through her role at the Council during the second stage of the design competition. Since then, she has had a desire to be more involved in Collett's Corner.
She believes in a society where we support each other. What Julie has to offer is her passion for building better buildings. She feels that the role as a director of Collett's Corner would be an opportunity to share her knowledge about how to create a sustainable design within a budget so that we get the best possible building for Lyttelton.
