Postal services have been offered from the Papanui Service Centre since the start of February, but now agreement has been reached that the centre will become a full agent for NZ Post, meaning it will be able to provide bill payment services.
“We are delighted to be able to expand the range of services we can offer local residents from the Papanui Service Centre,’’ says Council Head of Citizen and Customer Services Sarah Numan.
“It means we will have a convenient one-stop shop where people can access Council customer services, send letters and parcels, and pay bills.’’
