Proposed plan expands Rangiora and Kaiapoi, allows more medium density housing
Rangiora and Kaiapoi would have 450 hectares of land to build new housing on – and more space for medium density developments – under a newly proposed district plan.
About 15,000 new homes need to be built in the North Canterbury district over the next 30 years, according to the Waimakariri District Council.
The existing district plan, effectively a rulebook for where different types of developments can happen, has been in place since 2005.
The council is currently consulting with the community on the new plan. It has already received about 70 public submissions. Continue reading here.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
