New warning signals to alert pedestrians and cyclists about fire trucks coming and going from the Tauranga Fire Station on Cameron Road are now active.

When the main fire station doors open fully, the solar-powered signals at each end of the station light up, flash and beep to warn people travelling from either end of the shared path. People should stop until the fire trucks have cleared the station entrance/exit. Existing flashing red signals on either side of the road already alert drivers to fire truck movement.

Setting an Unrealistic Asking Price?
One of the most crucial mistakes sellers make is setting an unrealistic asking price for their home.

Overpricing can deter potential buyers and result in a longer time on the market, ultimately leading to a lower selling price.
To avoid this, conduct thorough market research, analyse recent sales data.

Contact me for guidance to determine a competitive and realistic asking price. A well-priced home will attract more buyers and increase your chances of receiving offers.

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?
