Kāinga Ora’s Anzac Rd complex is the first muti-tenanted building in Northland and third nationwide to receive SolShare technology. The sharing of rooftop solar on multi-tenant buildings is estimated to reduce customer power bills by $350 to $400 a year. The unit will distribute solar electricity equally among customers at the 15-unit, 3-storey walk-up complex in Whangārei.
Dispose of medications
Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ is advising spring cleaners that unused or expired medication is best disposed of by pharmacies. Flushing or tossing away these items can pollute waterways. Pharmacists properly dispose of medicines at no cost and will accept medicines in any condition, whether prescription, home remedies, pet medicines, blister packs or bottles.
