Parking fees going up in Christchurch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Christchurch City Council, as part of its 10-year budget, the long-term plan, last week confirmed on-street parking in the central city will increase from $3.10 an hour to $4.50 – a 45 per cent increase.

The cost to park at the council’s Lichfield St car park building will also rise from $2.80 an hour to $4 – a 43 per cent increase. The rate at the Art Gallery car park doubles from $2 an hour to $4.

By comparison, people are charged $4.50 an hour to park in central Wellington and $2.50 on the weekend. Auckland charges $5 an hour for the first two hours and then $10 per hour after that.

The on-street fee hikes are expected to generate $660,000 of additional revenue for Christchurch. That figure would have been $960,000, but the council planned to waive the credit card fees and pay them itself, at a cost of $300,000.

The increase in off-street parking charges is expected to bring in an extra $162,000.

Good old ChCh City Council!

Cherry from Heathcote Valley

I just walked my dog up and around the Heathcote Domain and I noticed that the three (always hugely full) rubbish bins that were once there have been removed with nothing put in their place.

There was also a bin taken away from the corner of Martindales and Port Hills Rd where the old corner store was during COVID for “health reasons” which has never been replaced.

I don’t know what it is they think they’re doing but they can hardly enforce antilittering laws if there are no receptacles for people to put their rubbish in. I carried my doggy doo bag home this morning but I doubt that many Dogwalkers will be so conscientious, although they are much more inclined to be so if there is a handy receptacle to put their leavings in. And yes I know about SmartBins-wonder if we are in the lottery for one of those???!!

The city is falling to pieces inch by inch and all they can do is remove all the rubbish bins-mind boggling.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
