OUR JOB IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED
Advice for Homeowner for your House Painting
1. WHAT TO PAINT?
It is up to you to tell your painter what you want to be done. But they can
help you work out what’s best.
If you have a particular purpose for
which the work is required, or the
the result that you desire the work to
achieve, it’s important that this is
written down in your contract.
For most jobs, painting doesn’t
require any Council approval, but be
careful, especially if you live in an old
or significant place, streets or
footpaths need to be used to paint or
there are electrical wires close by.
Get the right permissions before you
start. Unless you agree otherwise,
your painter is not responsible for
approvals, and getting this aspect
wrong can cause your costs to
increase. (Master Painter Association)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
