Managed Isolated and Quarantine (MIQ) and border workers and their families will be vaccinated by the end of March.

Immunising the second group, New Zealand’s 480,000 frontline healthcare workers, and 234,000 people living in “high-risk settings” like rest homes has already begun, and will continue until May.

The third round of vaccinations will be for all other people aged 75 or over, then those over 65, then people with pre-existing health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, respiratory conditions and cancer. The Government hopes to begin vaccinating this group – 1.7 million people – in May.

The rest of the population, two million people, will start receiving the vaccine from July.

Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey says he is “devastated” residents’ safety continues to be ignored as plans for a Woodend bypass continue to stagnate.

Doocey has questioned the process behind Canterbury’s draft Regional Land Transport Plan, which listed the bypass as an ‘on the horizon’ project only.

Does Woodend need a bypass? Are there other big roading projects that are more urgent in Waimakariri? Read the full story here and tell us what you think in the comments below.

The Waimakariri District Council has proposed constructing a parking building in Rangiora and new community centres in Ravenswood and Pegasus as the district’s population continues to grow.

The council’s previous long-term plan included $6.3 million to buy more land and facilities for car parking, but that was no longer expected to be enough to meet the expected demand. It is proposing to spend another $11.3m in 2028-30 to build a car park building with between 180 and 280 spaces.

The council has also proposed spending $4.7m for land in Pegasus to build a community centre within two to four years.

Another $4.3m was proposed for land at Ravenswood for a swimming pool. Construction of a community centre in Ravenswood would get under way in 2029-30.
