Is your house healthy?
🏘☔️🫧🧤A warm and dry home should be between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, and humidity should be between 40 to 60 percent.
👉Here are some key things to check in your home:
🔎Is there floor and ceiling insulation?
🔎Does your home have gaps that cause draught?
🔎Is there a window, door or skylight in each room that can be opened to the outside and remain open?
🔎Is it free from mould or signs it could be damp?
🔎Is there a qualifying fixed heater in the main living room? (a fixed heater that has a heating capacity of at least 1.5kW)
As of 1 July, all private rental homes must now meet the Healthy Homes standards for residential tenancies. The standards cover heating, ventilation, insulation, moisture and drainage and draught stopping.
For more details on key things to look out for, getting your home checked against the standards, and what to do if your home does not comply, visit: cab.org.nz/article/KB00000893

Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
