Inclusion & Exclusion

The Devonport Directory is a local listings website for residents and businesses in the Devonport peninsula. The criteria for inclusion are really very simple. Either:

• your place of business is located in Devonport
• or you are a resident of Devonport

The northern boundary of Devonport shall be considered to be the traditional border as used by the old Devonport Borough Council, namely at the stream that crosses Lake Road just below Roberts Avenue. Once you start going up that hill, you are in Belmont!

This is not intended to be a line drawn in stone but more to establish some limitations to the scope of this directory. Some businesses outside this area may be included - but only if that business or practice has no presence within Devonport and only if it is the nearest instance of that particular type of business. We in Devonport love things that are local, so for anything on the other side of Takapuna, you are going to need the Yellow Pages or the North Shore Directory.

The one major exception to this is if you are resident in Devonport but your place of business is elsewhere in Auckland. As we always like dealing with local people, we don't mind if your workshop or factory is in Albany or Otahuhu...

Listings

All basic listings will be made alphabetically according to category and then alphabetically within that category for each directory entry. Premium listings will be placed at the top of the page of that particular category, and then alphabetically. All community, charitable and non-profitable organisations are eligible for Bronze or Silver listings for free.

There are three types of listings in the Devonport Directory:

• Bronze Listing - includes name, address, phone, email or web address. These listings are free
• Silver Listing - as the Bronze Listing but includes a brief texted section outlining your business or practice and includes hyperlinked website and email details, and/or with a graphic included eg your company logo, hyperlinked to your website. This will normally be placed in the right-hand side bar adjacent to your directory entry
• Gold Listing - as the Silver Listing but with an additional graphic entry giving prominence to your business or practice by promoting it on the opening page of the Devonport Directory. Gold Listings entries on the front page cost $40 +gst for six months

Once you have been included in the Devonport Directory, with the exception of the Gold Listing, there are no further payments to be made. Unlike previous websites, which charged annual fees in excess of $100 for promoting your business or practice locally, the Devonport Directory is designed to be inclusive rather than prohibitive. Charges levied are merely to off-set the initial set-up costs of creating the directory in the first instance.

• Bronze listings are free
• Silver listings incur a one-of payment of $46 (inc GST)
• Gold listings incur a one-of payment of $46 plus $46 per six months

These costs are GST inclusive but do not include design costs, if any, for logos or graphics. Whilst these can be done, it is anticipated that those requiring Gold & Silver listings will provide their own graphics or logos.

Please send text entries and any graphics by email. These will be uploaded on receipt of your payment, which should be by cheque made out to 'Red Dragon Computers' and posted to:
3/22 Tainui Road
Devonport, North Shore 0624
Emails should be sent to listed@devonportdirectory.co.nz

Please also let us know if there is a category that is not yet represented that you think should be included or if there are any details already included in the directory that are no longer current and are in need of updating.

Rights & Responsibilities

The Devonport Directory reserves the right to determine which businesses and organisations may or may not be included in the directory. Application for inclusion does not necessarily guarantee that your business/practice will be included. No discussions will be entered into regarding non-successful applications.

The Devonport Directory includes all listings in good faith and undertakes to represent your business/practice in a responsible and professional manner.

However, inclusion in the Devonport Directory should in no way be taken as an endorsement of any businesses or practices contained within. Please check with the appropriate regulating authorities regarding the qualifications and registration status of any professionals or non-professionals you may choose to engage. The Devonport Directory can in no way assume any liability arising from any dealings you may have with any business or practice listed in the directory. Listings are included here for your convenience and ease of access and do not either suggest or imply that those listed within the directory are fit, competent or qualified to fulfil the roles that they ascribe to themselves.
