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

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
