📢It is us needing your help this time!
Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman main office is going to a new home.🚛💨 We’re going to need your contribution to help us move & make our new space welcoming!
🔹 Why Are We GOING?
After 20 years, our current cottage 🏚️ is to be demolished. While we’re grateful to Nelson City Council for many years of low rent, we couldn’t find anything similarly affordable in Nelson city.
🔹 Where Are We GOING?
We’re going to Cambridge St in Richmond, near the old Town Hall, into a building leased to us by the TDC at an affordable rate. 🏛️ We’re grateful for their support in helping us keep our services accessible to the community!
🔹 Are you GOING to help us?
Every donation helps keep CAB Nelson Tasman a welcoming and accessible place for anyone in need of free information and support. 🤝💡 We rely entirely on grants and donations—we are an independent organization and receive no government funding.
💙 Every dollar helps! No donation is too small—every contribution gets us closer to making our new home a reality. 🏠✨
🙏 Thank you for being part of our community and supporting this important move!
💰Use of your funds:
🔹 Relocation expenses-safely moving our resources and furniture.
🔹 Setting up a functional and welcoming space for visitors and volunteers.
🔹 Upgrading technology to continue providing seamless service.

🚙🛻🚗💨 You will need to renew your driver licence when you turn 75, 80, and every two years after that.

Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency will send you a driver licence renewal pack about eight weeks before your licence is due to expire.

You can also apply up to 6 months before you turn 75 by downloading the form yourself or requesting one from a driver licencing agent near you.

As part of the renewal, you will need to:

👉 get a medical check by your doctor showing that you are medically fit to drive and
👉 you may also have to do an on-road safety test (this depends on what your medical check results are).

Once your medical check certificate states that you are fit to drive, and you have done an on-road test if required, you can complete the application form and visit a driver licensing agent to apply in person. When you apply, your medical check results must not be older than 60 days.

For more information on renewing your licence, medical checks, licensing agents and what to take with you when you apply, visit: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001560
