Christchurch is in for a wet 24 hours
Cyclone Debbie is bringing steady rain to Christchurch, so we're setting up temporary pumps as a precaution. The worst of the rain is expected to hit Christchurch this afternoon and overnight.
Council contractors have been out clearing grates, checking pumps and making sure the drainage network is operating as it should. If you spot a blocked or overflowing public street drain you can report it to the Council’s Contact Centre.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
