As I haven't met you, it is very general. IF you email me privately with the info I'll try to give more specifics. There's a site by NZ Govt on living + working in NZ https://www.newzealandnow.govt.nz/ 1. IMHO when considering where to live temporarily and more permanently, you should check out what public transport routes there are to your new job. Even if you don't intend to use it, it gives you an alternative on days your main transport option is not available. If your job is in the CBD your options of places to stay are more than in other areas where there's perhaps not so many options wrt public transport to the area. 2. If by more permanent you mean somewhere to rent, and you're not currently in NZ, you need to familiarise yourself with what you should and shouldn't do as a renter in NZ. eg stuff like bond(must be lodged properly etc) , notice period, tenancy agreement (what can or can't be in it. they should use the standard agreement), There's a piece of legislation called Residential Tenancies Act and it summarised in a few places. Pages to start: * http://www.dbh.govt.nz/tenancy-index and their publications at http://www.dbh.govt.nz/pub-tenancy-generalinfo (dbh = Dept of Building + Housing) There's a standard agreement listed there. * Market Rent http://www.dbh.govt.nz/market-rent * Renting 101 - an article recently in r/newzealand : http://redd.it/2u240q * Trademe is a NZ auction site, like US's ebay and is the most popular. They have a section for property to rent http://www.trademe.co.nz/property/residential-property-to-rent/auckland or ppl looking for flatmates http://www.trademe.co.nz/flatmates-wanted/auckland . 3. Pets? If you're bringing a pet or intend to have a pet, you should search with this in mind. I'll have to warn you that it is hard to search for pets allowed rentals. Obviously if you're bringing your pet, you should also check out the health + quarantine requirements by officials protecting NZ's biosecurity, Good pages to start: * https://www.mpi.govt.nz/importing/live-animals/pets/ * http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/enter/personal/pets/cats-and-dogs 4. Another consideration is availability and proximity to facilities you require or would like to have access to regularly. For example I consider having access to internet quite important. There's certain areas (not many but they exist) where availability of ADSL is limited. It might be an area where ADSL is available but there's no spare ports in the exchange (and for some areas it could be months before a spare port is available). So add to to your things to check about a property if this is important to you. If you wish access to UFB (Fast fibre connection) there's even fewer areas where it is available AND even if it goes pass your gate, it may not be turned on at the permises you are renting. Are you coming alone or bringing partner and/or kid(s) with you? For kids, access to a reasonably good school would need to be added to your requirements for choice of area. I'll send this first and add to it later if i think of other things. regards + good luck lin On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 7:10 PM, Lee Symes wrote: > Hi All, > > I am moving to Auckland in a few weeks and I wanted some advice on where > to stay between arriving and finding a place to live more permanently. > > Yours, > > Lee > > _______________________________________________ > Chat mailing list > Chat at lists.lca2015.linux.org.au > http://lists.lca2015.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/chat > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: A couple of things that you may be interested in. Some of them I came across when looking for the info for the lca2015 wiki https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Consulates 1.

Travel Advice for NZ http://smartraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/New_Zealand Info like the Health tab is relevant for Australians coming to NZ to live. For example there's a reciprocal health agreement between Aust and NZ. 2. From UK or Aust The reciprocal Agreement for Health is summarised in http://www.health.govt.nz/new-zealand-health-system/eligibility-publicly-funded-health-services/reciprocal-health-agreements 3.
