Council backs reduced speed limit
From local democracy reporter David Hill:
The speed limit on Kaiapoi’s Smith St will be reduced to accommodate the growing Waimak Junction Business Park.
The Waimakariri District Council gave its backing at last week’s council meeting to a proposal to reduce the speed limit from 80kph to 50kph on the small stretch of road between the southbound motorway onramp and the existing 50kph sign, 90 metres to the east.
Waimakariri District Council roading and transportation manager Joanne McBride said the speed limit change was needed to improve safety.
The Waimak Junction Business Park is expanding, with the planned opening of a Countdown supermarket, alongside Placemakers, Bunnings, Mitre 10, Briscoes and other retailers, expected to significantly increase traffic volumes.
The council will now write to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to request the speed limit change under the Setting of Speed Limits Rule 2022.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
