Is it an illegal policy, or the perfect deterrent to land-bankers?
That was the clash of perspectives in the Christchurch City Council chamber on Wednesday, as developers and residents presented to councillors about its controversial proposal to significantly hike the rates of vacant central city land.
Prominent developers, including Richard Peebles, Philip Carter, Dean Marshall, and Ernest Duval, told city councillors on Wednesday they were going after the vacant land problem the wrong way. Carter claimed the proposal was illegal.
But, a central city neighbourhood association says the plan will stop land-bankers.
What is the proposal?
- From mid-2022, the council wants to more than double the differential on the “general” component of the rates bill for central city vacant landowners.
- If a site has consented use happening on it, for example a consented temporary car park, it would not be pinged.
- Only sites in the Central City Business Zone or the Central City Mixed Use (South Frame) Zone are part of the proposed hike.
- Sites that are “improved and maintained” in line with the council’s vacant sites improvement guide could apply for a rates remission. - Whether a site is complying will be decided by the council.

Christchurch’s 30,000-seat stadium, Te Kaha, has blown its budget by at least another $50 million, Stuff understands.
City councillors will soon have to decide whether they either increase the $533m budget once again, head back to the drawing board or pause the project.
Council staff are refusing to comment on the spiralling costs, saying more information will be available in the coming weeks.
But the council has advised the Treasury of issues with the budget, a spokesperson for the Government department said. Read more here.

Hi guys
Does anyone know of anyone who has hay or barley straw to sell who is near Tai tapu? Or even better can deliver (I can pick up though if needed but if someone can deliver I’m happy to cover the cost of that)

Does anyone know of anyone who has hay or barley straw to sell who is near Tai tapu? Or even better can deliver (I can pick up though if needed but if someone can deliver I’m happy to cover the cost of that)
I need it in the small bales that I can pick up and carry myself, not the big squares as I have a very small area that I rent and there is no way to get a large square into the area where it would be storing it. For the same reason I need to get a few bales on a regular basis rather than a large amount of hay/straw in one go as I don’t have the space to store more than maybe 6 bales tops and keep it dry.
I have a number of ducks and rescued ducks who normally free range on the halswell river, however there is currently an outbreak of either botulism or another toxin on the river which means I am having to get as many as possible of my ducks off the river and into a run to keep them off the river.
Because ducks are messy creatures who like to turn anything into mud, I need about 2-4 small bales a week of hay or barley straw to keep the run sanitary.
I have been picking it up from dawes but they are out of barley straw and it didn’t look like they had heaps of hay so possibly they will run out of that soon too.
Would really appreciate any referrals to anyone who might have a good supply of barley straw as first preference or hay as second.
Anyone who has some to sell can contact me by calling or texting 020 406 41485, text preferred.
Thanks
