Help! Need some rental space to store a shipping container in

Maria from Mount Wellington

Hi, I am planning to go to the islands to do some nursing work. Some paid, some voluntary.
I have a couple of shipping containers that I need to store while I am gone.
So I am looking for someone who may have some commercial space, car park, yard etc that I can store them in.
Don't mind … View more

Don't mind paying.
It's just that the commercial storage guys are too expensive and I won't have a lot to spare while doing this type of work.

Food Waste or Food Banks ?

Anthony from Saint Johns

But needs an hour or so a week to be maintained by a considerate human that can liase with the fruit shop staff to reduce thier waste & maybe get donations from other businesses ? It's really up to you.

I can assist with some materials to make the storage shelves more weather proof & can take some green wast into the worm farm next to it.

This sort of contribution helps immensly towards native bird populations as the waste protocol as is has caused more rat populations since the closure of the Garden Center.

Only message me if you are serious about helping out.

I am presenting this Petition at Council next week! We are over 3400 signatures now! Please help get it to 5000! Share with everyone. This is the best post for Facebook:

Sale of the #DowntownCarparkBuilding was a decision by Eke Panuku Development Auckland, ratified by the Phil Goff led Auckland Council and then endorsed by the City Vision lead Waitematā Local Board.

This is an important amenity in the Civic Centre of Auckland where ALL ratepayers have a right to access, including those in Remuera.

There is a covenant attached to the sale to provide for bus parking and disabled parking that is NOT sufficient as we rely on this carpark for:
#Convenient - parking in the Viaduct, Commercial Bay, Queen St and Ferry Terminal
#Affordable - it is reasonably priced
#Safety - as it is under cover (for lone females, parents with children and seniors)

#CivicCentre - is open to ALL visitors, especially ratepayers
#Commuters - rely on this to access their work
#InterIslandCommuters - Waiheke and Barrier residents ‘town car’ parking
#FerryCommuters - North Shore, Gulf Harbour and other places car for CBD
#Residents - city apartments without parking (reasonably priced long-term parking)
#ParknRide - when this is the hub for trains, ferries and public transport
#Visitors - day trippers to Waiheke and Barrier
#Tradies, Sales and Service - link to other locations and carry stock or large items

Auckland doesn’t have a connected network of regular, reliable public transport yet, so until such time as we do, it is too soon to sell this Public Facility.

Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
