Is this sort of payment covered by insurance, or is it a direct cost to the Council?

Why even use this? Where I come from, electronic bank payments are immediate. Is that not the case everywhere?

We arrived at a bach a few years ago in which a possum had spent perhaps the previous week or two trying to get out after having entered via a chimney.

If you have room, kōwhai and puriri are great native species for kererū.
They eat kōwhai foliage and puriri berries, and the flowers of both plants are attractive to other birds
