“Part of rebuilding trust and confidence in council is being out in the community, answering questions and understanding people’s concerns,” Mauger said.
MacDonald said the latest annual plan had been “particularly challenging”, with interest rates, inflation and insurance adding significant pressure to the council budget.
“We have worked hard to minimise the impact to below inflation,” he said.
”We are hopeful we will get a lot of people along, the issues being discussed impact everybody.”
The meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday at St Christopher’s Church, Avonhead Rd.
This outlines what Christchurch City Council plans to spend on projects and day-to-day services in the next year and how we'll pay for it.

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.
Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.

"A change to our Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate
The main reason we've introduced the Excess Water Supply Targeted Rate(external link) to help reduce the extreme demand on our water supply network at certain times, particularly over summer. If we can do this, it means we won't have to spend as much money upgrading and building new infrastructure to cope with the extreme demand".
It is not to save the overall usage of water for the rest of the year.
This is not to recoup the extra costs as the system can not pump more than 100%. The water pressure would drop and need restrictions that would apply to everyone, even without meters. Totally fair and very few costs involved, eg meter readings, sending out accounts, receiving payments, disputes over charges anon.
what was wrong with the old system and why was this raised at all?
The way I see it, they have just created a whole costly system to be paid for by the money they are collecting for the scheme. IMO
Looking for recommendations for storage facilities.
Please message me all cheap ideas.
Thanks
