Are your energy bills so high they've got you feeling down? Maybe you're wondering where that draught is coming from or where all that expensive heat is going?

Or maybe your home feels (dare we say it) MOIST?
The truth is that there are lots of things that contribute to how healthy a home feels and how well it functions.
That's why Wellington City Council in partnership with us (Sustainability Trust) offer free personalised home energy plans specific to your home. The end goal is to arm you with the information you need to create a warm, dry, healthier home. You can even find out if your home is EV or solar ready.
This is a completely free service for homeowners in Wellington City.

Do you still buy suits? Well known wellington business Farrys is closing and it seems Wellingtonians are more happy in sandshoes and jeans than wearing a suit.
Can you still buy a house in Wellington for $500,000. The short answer is yes, no, maybe.
There are currently 52 properties, in the city, listed at $500,000 or less.
Virtually all of those properties are one-bedroom apartments.
There is a one bedroom house in Mt Cook but it is 50 square metres.

"This afternoon it was off to Pāuatahanui for a kingfisher hunt with a husband who is very good at taking my hints about it being a beautiful day whilst staring at the birds that were flying around outside!
The kingfishers were certainly in the usual place, but not really being social with each other as they were on our previous trip.
I waded out in my wellies but couldn't really get as close to them as I would have wanted to! Here are a few shots of them on various bits of driftwood, some with crabs in their mouths, some without! It was lovely to also capture the spoonbills coming into land to have a feed."
Hi everyone, can someone recommend me gibber and a plasterer please. Thanks pratima

So many Ryman residents have passions and pastimes that they continue to thrive at within our villages. Therefore, creating an event like Olympics@RYMAN is a prime example of how we pioneer the way for our residents.
Events include swimming, bowls, cycling, relay walking and Quiznastics. To up the ante, we’ve incorporated technology solutions to enhance events and to enable residents to connect with all 41 Ryman villages, including those across the Tasman, while they compete!
