Community Pride Garden Awards 2024

Shirish Paranjape from Community Board member, Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood C.Board

It was so nice to acknowledge the efforts of our local residents and businesses whose gardens have been judged - by the Christchurch Beautifying Association as being exceptional. Over 30 residents and a few businesses were given certificates and trophies at the Community Pride Garden Awards 2024 event held at the Russley Golf Club and Function Centre by the Fendalton- Waimairi- Harewood Community Board.

Congratulations to all nominees and winners!

Sudima hotel (airport), Commodore hotel and The Russley Village were amongst the businesses who won the awards.

Sharing some photos from the event.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving.
