Rangiora Racecourse quarry resource consent notified
The public will get the opportunity to have its say on a proposal to establish a quarry at the Rangiora Racecourse.
An application by Taggart Earthmoving Ltd for a resource consent to extract gravel has been lodged, and will now be publicly notified.
The Waimakariri District Council and Environment Canterbury (ECan) are calling for submissions until November 27.
Taggart first applied to the Waimakariri council to extract gravel from the site on Lehmans Rd in 2018, but had been in discussion with the racecourse since 2016.
More details were sought by the councils and after several applications required more information, a compliant application was submitted in October.
There has been growing public interest in the proposal this year, and a 5000-signature petition was presented to the council in September.
A public meeting was held for Taggart and racecourse representatives to talk to the community last month, attended by local resident John Mather, who said residents made their opinions heard.
The full application can be viewed on the Waimakariri council and ECan websites.
All submissions should be sent to Environment Canterbury, PO Box 345 Christchurch 8140; or emailed to hearings@ecan.govt.nz; or made online.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
