FREE insulation subsidies now available in Otago
Give yourself the gift of warmth this year!
Cosy Homes Trust and Otago Community Trust have joined forces to boost the Government’s subsidised insulation scheme to be FREE for many Otago residents!
If your home was built before 2000, and you have a Community Services Card or a Gold Card with a Community Services Card endorsement, you are eligible for FREE ceiling and underfloor insulation where accessible.
Own a rental property? If your main tenant has a CSC, and the house was built before 2000, Cosy Homes and Otago Community Trust will boost your subsidy to 75%. As the landlord, you pay 25%.
Subsidies are available for a limited time, and are first-in, first-served.
To enquire, please call 03 425 7878, or fill in our 5-second form at www.cosyhomes.org.nz...
Cosy Homes Charitable Trust is a not-for-profit community organisation.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
