Why it pays to compare plans

Did you know over 90% of New Zealanders who compare power plans find savings—often around $400 a year? Comparing power plans is quick and easy with a free online tool—it takes just five minutes and won’t disrupt your supply. A simple switch could lead to real savings. Click here to compare
To save more, match your power plan to your lifestyle. If you're home during the day, a 'time of use' plan could cut costs by using power during off-peak hours. Tailoring your plan to your routine helps keep more money in your pocket.
Head to the Electricity Authority’s website, where they offer free tools to help you compare and switch plans with ease. With so many New Zealanders already saving up to $400 a year, there’s no reason to wait. Smart power choices start here, and the benefits can last all year long.
Take charge of your electricity costs and see how much you could save today. You might just wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.

Last week Auckland Transport met with the Kaipātiki Local Board to discuss the results. The slides from their presentation slides are attached. Note that AT are no longer recommending removing the bus stop opposite Northcote College.
The Local Board will be providing a formal response in July. If work proceeds, it is expected to coincide with resurfacing of the road sometime between December and February.
