The $6.8 million Quarryman's Trail cycleway will run from Halswell to the central city via Sparks Rd, Roker St and Antigua St. The first stage, which covers 4.6 kilometres from Moorhouse Ave to Victors Rd in Hoon Hay, is expected to open by the end of the month.
My monthly rental is $84.99 for 60GB Data on landline basic fibre with Spark, and wonder how that compares?
Thankyou

I understand it is because of a cycle way, although I haven't seen that advertised. The time this project has taken and the manner that the construction has been engineered has to be seen to be believed. The extravagance , the hotch potch of expensive materials - the complexity - for what ? If it is for a cycle way, I don't know where the cyclists will be coming from or going to. That part of the city is very quiet with few cyclist or cars so this extravagance is completely unnecessary. Richardson Tce. has experienced several major flood events over the last year or so and the whole area will require to be be re-engineered to lessen that and the Tce. itself is a real mess since the quakes, so my bet is all this work will be dug up over the next short time frame so the whole area can be made safe and functional.
The contractors doing this work are shaking their heads in disbelief as to what is going on around our city - another mad example is Worcester Street. Of course they are loving this work as they are filling their coffers while the council are draining ours !
Winter is well and truly here! From midnight tonight, a wintry storm could bring cold wind gusts and snow to parts of the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula.

Councillors voted in January to chlorinate the city's water supply after experts warned of there was a low risk of contamination. The council authorised chlorination for up to 12 months while the work was done.
Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.

My name is Loren and I am part of Canterbury Blind Sports club. One of the sports we play is called goalball. Its a 3v3 game where everyone playing wears blacked out goggles - yes, even the totally blind players! We have had a few new players start up and are in need of ski goggles to black out with tape. If anyone has any in reasonable condition that they would be happy to donate to the club that would be amazing and hugely appreciated .
Cheers so much!
