The Waimakariri District Council is seeking proposals from developers for part of Kaiapoi’s old red zone.

The council said successful applicants would need to align with the North Canterbury town’s vision of becoming New Zealand’s best rivertown.

The council’s Kaiapoi Town Centre Plan states any development in the area should support existing businesses, include attractive public spaces, embrace the Kaiapoi River and incorporate pedestrian spaces to encourage people to further explore the town.

Here's a wee bit of a throwback to life under lockdown. Check out how this couple in Motueka helped out their neighbours who were new to the area. Have you got an unsung hero in your neighbourhood? You can make your nominations here!

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Hi neighbours,

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.

Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.

Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.

Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.

We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

Poll: Is the Government doing enough to stop recyclable materials going to landfill?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.

Local Government NZ says the funding should be matched with a “strategic waste plan”, with the goal for New Zealand to be able to process its own waste onshore.

Matariki has become a widely accepted festival across the country. Stuff says it's time for a Matariki statutory holiday to mark the occasion.

The law says public holidays exist to observe days of “national, religious, or cultural significance”, but most of our holidays aren’t expressly Kiwi.

We’re overdue the creation of a unifying holiday that honours Aotearoa’s past and celebrates New Zealand’s future. Matariki is that holiday.

If you adopted a kitten last Christmas now is the time to get it fixed.

The plea comes from staff at the Southbrook Recovery Centre in Rangiora, who face the trauma of finding kittens destined for landfill when they arrive at work.

Waimakariri District Council solid waste asset manager Kitty Waghorn said there had been issues with dumped and feral felines at the recovery centre for years.

It was upsetting for staff, and posed risks for native wildlife and the cats themselves, she said.
