Invite your kiwi 'mates' over for a bbq (hungi). they'll be gone within the hour.

They are territorial, and if you move one out, and there are others around, another will move in.

You could try my approach, and make nest boxes for them and put them in places you prefer them to be (not that far away though). It doesn't get rid of them but it might make it better for you.

I am not sure how to control where they go though.

A mate of mine ran a 'possum solutions' company.... with great success.
What he used to do was put possum boxes in nearby trees, he then sealed up the roof space that the critters took over. EXCEPT for a single roof tile that allowed the entire possum family to leave at their own pace, he had some custom made exits that would fit into the open tile space a bit like a one way clear plastic cat door, this allowed them to leave but NOT return with their interest becoming the tree mounted possum boxes.
He had mounted micro switches on the possum trap doors that triggered a remote door bell that was left in the clients house, It made the client very happy to hear it ring, apparently the average number of possums per roof was 4-6 with one roof having 12.
After a couple of weeks he would come back re install the roof tile (charge the handsomely) and take the trap door to the next job.
