In front of my house there is a grass berm which currently does not have any plants on it - aside from grass. I wanted to plant a tree there, so I called up the council asking if I'd need to apply for some sort of a planting permission.
And you know what?
Turns out, the council can plant a tree there for me! They said, basically, that each year they plant a number of trees around the city - some to replace old and sick trees, others to create "new" spots for trees. And so, when I called them up asking if I'd be allowed to plant a tree in my berm, they simply said that they'll note down my address, have a look at my berm on their next round of maintenance checks and if they think the berm is wide enough for a tree to go there, they'd simply include my berm in their next tree planting programme!
And I was, like, whoa. This is so cool :)
Thank you, Invercargill.

Unfortunately my cat Max had been run over on the 15th November on Tay street. Thanks to everyone's help and messages of support. Thanks also to the Findlay road vet clinic for holding Max until I was found. He's now home again. Please take care when driving on busy roads. Just be aware of animals and children alike.
Thanks.
