Hi! I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!

The results are in from the annual Upper Hutt bird count survey completed by our Parks team, showing that while you should be seeing plenty of tui, silvereye, fantail and kingfisher around, some of our other native birds are struggling. Pest Free Upper Hutt have teamed up with Upper Hutt Menzshed and are doing great work trapping predators like rats, stoats and weasels that are targeting our native birds and their eggs. If you’re keen to help look after our native birds, get involved by placing a trap next to your compost bin, in your back yard, or become a coordinator.

We don't seem have much in the way of garden centres in UH these days,
BUT .... I just have to alert you all to wonderful selection of trees, shrubs,
bushes, annuals etc in Kaitoke.
I visited there today with a friend, and was extremely impressed by the range of species and the reasonable prices, not to mention the "specials".
Sadly I am not able to fit another plant on my property - but thought I would remind everyone of the existence of this highlight.
If you are looking for something different to enhance your property - head north and go see for yourself.
AND ... as you walk around the site keep your eyes open around the area for some unusual surprises. eg: What do you think a Holly Bush looks like? Go see for yourself :-)
