Memories made on the river

Lisa Heatley from Enable Fibre Broadband

On 20 January Enable proudly sponsored a BBQ and provided volunteers for the annual Dick Farrant Fun Ride Day.
The Canterbury branch of Jet Boating NZ created lasting memories for over 400 Cantabrians, offering a jetboat ride to members of our community who otherwise might not get the opportunity.
We’re proud to be able to provide an opportunity for our people to bring Enable to life within their own communities, by supporting them outside of work through our people inspired sponsorship scheme.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.

The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.

According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
