Initially and mostly in the litter abatement area, but also in general beautification of our physical environment. This can include reporting and removing graffiti; collaborating with schools and groups to paint murals on Chorus street side utility cabinets (to prevent graffiti); running our very successful schools environment programme (in its 27th year in 2020) which reaches around 40 schools a year; working with other environmental groups, individuals and community groups to carry out clean up and other environment enhancement events around the city; supporting and recognising volunteers who work regularly picking up rubbish, planting, caring for local parks, reserves and gardens, develop and maintain new native plantings in reserves; and also recognising those businesses that themselves support volunteers or have business practices that are environmentally sustainable.
KCB promotes and supports projects initiated by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, our parent organisation (while KCB is a branch, it is also independent and a stand-alone charity and incorporated society). KCB is also developing new projects, including scaling the schools programme to suits preschools; maintaining a ‘library’ of gear to lend and sometimes gift, to groups doing clean ups; and providing event coordination and management for business groups wanting to ‘give back’ to their communities with clean up events.
KCB is proud of its connections with other groups around the city; together we are more than the sum of our parts.

A large health facility with procedure rooms and luxury recovery suites is proposed for a prominent site in Christchurch's health precinct.
The application proposes two levels of medical facilities and three levels of guest accommodation “proposed to function as luxury recovery rooms” for procedures done on the lower floors.
Huadu International NZ chief executive Aaron Boddington said the company was excited to develop the project, but declined to answer questions on when the facility would be built, who would operate it and how much it would cost.

The fire has been burning since about 11.25am on Sunday after flaring up on a Twizel riverbed and spreading to a large forest on Mt Cook Rd (State Highway 80).
It grew to 2500 hectares and had a 23 kilometre perimeter by Sunday night but on Monday, there was "significant spread" overnight and it was now covering 3100 hectares.
There are 17 helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft battling the fire, with the first helicopters equipped with monsoon buckets going up at first light.

With capacity on buses reduced due to social distancing requirements, some Christchurch users have reported delays and passengers being left behind because there was not enough room.
A Christchurch commuter said "some bus drivers care about how many are on the bus and some don't".
Do you think it's okay that bus drivers self-enforce social distancing?

Hey neighbours,
Christchurch City Council recently converted 65 of its 196 meters to credit/debit card only to combat damage and theft.
However, it is not easy to identify which machines no longer take cash.
Do you think we should move to a totally cashless system?
