Plastic dog tags are set to become a thing of the past in Wellington City, with the introduction of the One Tag for dog registrations.
The One Tag is a metal tag designed to last a dog's lifetime. Dog owners will still need to pay their annual registration fees, but they can keep using the same tag as long as they live in their council's jurisdiction.
The One Tag initiative is being introduced to reduce the amount of plastic waste going to landfills.
The One Tag is lightweight yet durable and comes in two sizes – 25mm for small dogs and 35mm for larger dogs. The back of the tag is blank so owners can get it engraved with their dog's name or their contact details if they wish.
Under the Dog Control Act 1996, all dogs are legally required to be registered by the age of three months. Registration is due by July 31 of each year and owners of unregistered dogs may be charged an infringement fee of $300.
Animal Control Officers can access registration records remotely when they are out on patrol to check whether a dog is currently registered.

"I am currently in a foster home with my sisters, and my foster mum says I am timid but become friendly with time and patience... can you give that to me? I would do best in a quiet and stable home, with people around to offer me support. I would not settle with a busy home or one with young children. I am quite a chatter box and have a very playful side. If this sounds like your kind of cat , please get in touch and we will put you in touch with my foster mum."

Karori Lions recent E-Waste Recycling Day

Last Saturday we ran our twice-yearly e-waste drop off collection at the Karori Community Centre, which proved to be as popular as ever. While volumes were not markedly up, many customers were exceptionally generous with the donations they made in return for leaving their unwanted electronic goods with us. All net proceeds from Lions projects are returned to the community. A double whammy here was that the company ultimately receiving the goods was Recycling for Charity, who make a contribution to charities from their profits derived from refurbishing or recycling the goods (in a guaranteed data secure and environmentally sound manner).
Pictured: Some Karori Lions with the Recycling for Charity team gearing up for an avalanche of electronic waste and surplus goods.

3) Do you charge a fee for arranging maintenance and repairs?

PPM answer: We do not charge any fees on maintenance and repairs. Everything is covered in our management fee therefore we are not looking for things to fix up so that we can charge a handling fee. You can rest assured if things need doing it's for a valid reason.

4) What are the management fees and/or pricing options when the property is being rented?

PPM answer: We charge a very simple percentage of collected rent. This motivates me to fight for higher rents for our owners. We only start getting our fee once we find suitable tenants and they move in.

For more details on fees and how we operate please call Andrew on 0274888933
