They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.

If you don't agree with the Values that either QV or NPDC or TRC have given you, you can take your papers straight to the CourtHouse in N.P. Ask for a FEE WAIVER APPLICATION, this will give everyone who is on a Benefit or NZ Super, no need to pay the $90 Filing Fee OR the $900 Hearing Fee! You will not hear this from QV or NPDC or TRC! Surprise, surprise!! - not! All the Best, Heather Pantin -Lewis P.S. Let me know how you get on?

Local pianist, Rob Fleming will conclude his short recital series exploring the 3 B's (Bach, Beethoven & Brahms) of the classical piano repertoire featuring the Romantic master, Johannes Brahms. Rob is performing Brahms' set of seven fantasies opus 116, written in the final years of his life. These seven short pieces are intensely personal and enigmatic, and they vary from deep introspection to spectacular ferocity.
Koha appreciated.
