Car Free Day is an international day, supported by over 1,000 cities. The day highlights alternatives to car travel and the social and environmental benefits of walking, cycling, or taking the bus.
Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Jim Boult suggested this is the perfect opportunity for locals to see what commuting to the CBD could be like by giving up the car for a day. “We’ve all been heavily reliant on cars in Queenstown, but times are changing. We’re already seeing increasing bus passenger numbers who are rating the service highly. As the town continues to grow, where it’s possible and practical we need to think differently about how we get around. So why not try bringing the kids into town on the bus for free on the 22 September and see if it could work for you too,” said Mayor Boult.

Widespread weather warnings are in place for the south of the country as a front moves northwards up the country, preceded by a strong northwesterly flow and followed by cold southerlies.
Motorists are warned to drive with care and to take chains on the Crown Range, between Queenstown and Wanaka. Queenstown Airport remained open, although flights before 10am were cancelled.

Over the hill in Gordon Rd, Mosgiel, a burglar helped themselves to two Oamaru stone sculptures. In town, a Masport lawnmower and petrol container went missing from a property in Edith Pl, Shiel Hill, between Saturday and Wednesday last week.
And lastly a home in Glen Rd, Table Mound, just west of Milburn lost its coffee machine and capsules, cups, stereo, lawnmower and other items, Snr Sgt Thomson said.
If you see anything suspicious in your neighbourhood make sure to contact Dunedin police (03) 471-4800 or Crimestoppers 0800-555-111.
