Snow delays consultation on the draft Central City
Plan
Heavy snowfall in Christchurch during the last two
days has delayed the start of consultation on the draft
Central City Plan.
The draft document is available online
today at centralcityplan.org.nz for people to read, download
and make a written comment, says Christchurch City Council
Strategy and Planning General Manager Mike
Theelen.
“However, the heavy snowfalls in the last
couple of days have meant we have been unable to get printed
copies of the draft Plan out to Council Service Centres,
Libraries and Recreation and Sport Centres.
“Printed
copies of the draft Plan were due from the printers
yesterday but the snow has meant we have been unable to get
these to Council facilities.”
Mr Theelen says it is
hoped these will be available tomorrow and be at Council
facilities within the next couple of days.
The draft
Central City Plan is available for written comments until
5pm on Friday 16 September 2011.
Roadshows begin next
Tuesday 23 August, the draft Plan being taken out to various
locations in the community for the public to learn more
about the Plan, to talk to the planners and make written
comments.

Winston Peters is routinely described as the kingmaker who decides whether the centre right or the centre-left has a turn at running this country. He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT... More
The National Party claims the new coalition government will be stable, effective, and will deliver for all Kiwis. "Despite the challenging economic environment, New Zealanders can look forward to a better future because of the changes the new Government will make ... We know that, with the right leadership, the right policies, and the right direction, together New Zealanders can make this an even better country," says Christopher Luxon... More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw... More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru... More
