Sure is, if you want a warm toasty house :-)

A nice even temperature through out the house is more easily achieved without internal wall insulation, imo.

Insulation works for noise as well as heat, so if you want a quiet bedroom or to limit toilet noises being heard .

We have used noise line gib so noise is not a problem.

yep i see it done at work quite a bit. usually around the noisy rooms eg bathrooms, garage walls, and lounge. walls near front door.

I had insulation done for the wall between the toilet and bedroom. Similarly between the shower room and the bedroom. In my opinion, it does not help much. If I would to do it again, I would go for double gib and insulation.

catch there is most kiwis don't heat the whole house. they heat it room by room ie spot heat rather than central heating. so insulating rooms is very worth while.

Essential for any south facing rooms. Done properly limits damp, condensation, mould

I think OP is referring to the internal walls where you are referring to the external. eg the walls on the exterior of the house not the walls between rooms

I would rather spend money on ensuring the very best insulation for all exterior walls and the floors and ceilings.
