Poll: Pole to Save the Kaitangata War Memorial Hall

Steve from Clutha District

Hi Neighbours,

For the past 12+ months i have been fighting to save the old Kaitangata War Memorial Hall from Demolition.
My plan is to purchase the Hall and restore it, to create an Automotive Themed Museum, including Secure, Dry, Storage for Classic Cars.

Unfortunately because CDC are under the impression (Thanks to a vocal minority with their own agenda) that the wider community would rather the Hall be demolished to create another Green Space (adjacent to the existing Green-space) CDC have voted to Demolish the Hall .....(at a cost of more than $84,000 to Clutha tax payers), rather than sell it, and receive an income from future Rates.

We do not have many buildings of significance left in Kaitangata, and it saddens me to loose another one unnecessarily.
However, if the Wider Community really wants Grass, more than a Historic building, and a Museum, then i will not fight it.

Please have your Say in the following Poll.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
