Concrete driveway adds up to 10% value to your home

Paul Bishop from VIP CONCRETE

A concrete driveway is a prominent feature at the entrance
of your home.

If your driveway is in good shape it has a higher perceived value as well as actual value - of up to 10% increase to your home. If considering selling in the future, buyers will compare your house to others as part of their due diligence.

Driveways are very practical too – bike riding, push chair and wheel chair access. Kids can play ball games and it can be used as BBQ area.

A vehicle parked in the driveway helps to protect it from vandals that normally lurk on the street walks at night. (like a possum, but with bad intentions).
Think about the insurance discount the insurance company will give you when you tell them your vehicle is parked off the street!

Any investment into the driveway you will get back, and some.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
