Back in January this year, the New Zealand government announced that the rules for visitors are changing and people arriving on a visitor visa or NZeTA can now work for overseas employers whilst visiting New Zealand.

This is great news if you are a “digital nomad”, or you are able to work remotely for your employer or client. 

For this year's IWD blog we sat down with Stacey Canham from Egis, she has been part of the Basestation whānau since July 2023. She works in one of the larger offices on our first floor alongside the rest of the Tauranga Egis team.  

As part of celebrating our 10th anniversary last November, we ran a competition for new startups and entrepreneurs in Tauranga to win 10 weeks of office/desk space at Basestation. One of these winners is Grier Fisher, who last year started Renderrite with an old work colleague, Chayse Russell. 

 We sat down with Grier for a kōrero, and he shared a bit about himself and the journey so far.

Meet Craig Williams, the newest member of the Basestation team. Craig has been part of our coworking community for many years and is very familiar with all the challenges of starting a business and the benefits of coworking. So, it was logical that when our esteemed leader decided to go for his “long walk” that Craig was the first choice to help cover and be Steven 2.0.

We sat down with Craig to find out more about him…

Each year we invite our residents to join us for the annual Basestation Christmas Party, traditionally this is a potluck dinner and we supply the drinks.
