What do you think of these Christchurch homes?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Would you like to live here? The first homes have been finished in central Christchurch's 900-home east frame housing precinct - more than six years after the development was first announced.

But the homes do come at a cost. The 20 three-storey, three-bedroom homes have gone on sale priced from $1.175m to just under $1.59m, ranging in size from 168 square metres to 214sqm, including an internal garage. To read more, click here.

What are your thoughts on the buildings? Do you think they'll attract people into the Christchurch CBD? Or are they too pricey? Share your views with us in the replies below.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Building job

Lesley from Bishopdale

I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
