17.5kg Gas bottle refills - Recommendations

Katrina from Kilbirnie

Hey Neighbours,

I'm looking for a solution / recommendations in terms of the following dilemma ..

The gas supply to a tenanted property I currently manage is via 2x 17.5kg refillable bottles which in the past have been refilled from the self service gas refill station in Newtown however unfortunately this has now closed down with the only alternative in Petone.
Unfortunately, this poses an issue given that the tenants do not have a vehicle however another issue is, is that having contacted many gas companies it seems no one will deliver either.
A further issue is that gas companies will not refill 17.5kgs and if we were to move to the next size bottle 45kg, they still wont deliver due to stairs to the property falling under a safety hazard.

I'm not sure where to from here in terms of finding a solution, therefore if any one has any helpful recommendations / ideas please do share.

Cheers,
Katrina

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
