Christchurch Youth Hub gets consent to go ahead after agreement with neighbours
A long-fought stoush between inner-city Christchurch residents and a prominent youth advocate has come to an end, allowing a $25m wellbeing hub to go ahead.
Christchurch Youth Hub Trust and the Victoria Neighbourhood Association reached an agreement through an Environment Court mediation process, including measures such as a community liaison group, to mitigate against potential concerns raised by the residents’ group.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this wonderful news,” Youth Hub Trust chair Dame Sue Bagshaw said.
“This agreement means resource consent has now been achieved, enabling us to work together, hand in hand, to ensure that the Youth Hub delivers not only for the city’s young people in need, but also, importantly, the local neighbourhood.”
