Plans to revitalise Cathedral Square could be put at risk by work on the Anglican cathedral, which is yet to begin.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Cathedral Square's business and property owners fear the drawn-out cathedral rebuild saga will make a mess of all other plans for the area.

Laws passed in December give the upcoming Christ Church Cathedral repair project access to all public parts of the square, including roads, for up to 15 years.

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!
