Public safety risk in Port Hills
Christchurch City Council has closed areas of the Port Hills because of the ongoing public safety risk.
The Council will erect signs today (Sunday) on many popular walking and mountain-biking tracks in the Port Hills to advise people of the safety issues and the closures.
These restricted zones cover all tracks and open areas in the Port Hills, including Victoria Park and the Rapaki, Mt Vernon and Huntsbury tracks.
These restrictions are likely to be in place for several weeks while fire crews extinguish the fires and deal with all safety issues.
