Poll: Should a regional rate be used to cover Christchurch stadium operating costs?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Mayors from across Canterbury are prepared to discuss a rates contribution towards the operating costs of Christchurch's in-development stadium.

But they have "a raft of quite meaty" questions over how it would be governed and how the contributions would be divided between regions.

What do you think? Tell us in the comments below (please write NFP if you don't want your comments published).

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.
