Poll: Should the speed be reduced on the road from Christchurch to Akaroa?
Hi neighbours,
Canterbury’s “highest risk route” will be under the spotlight as the public are asked to give their views on the road’s current speed limits.
Between 2011 and 2020, 75 people were killed or suffered serious injuries on the road between Christchurch and Akaroa.
Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is now seeking feedback from communities on the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch to hear their views on what the speed limits should be.
Do you think the speed should be reduced along SH 75/73?
People can provide feedback by visiting the NZTA website or emailing chchtoakaroaspeeds@nzta.govt.nz.
Drop-in sessions will also take place at:
Te Hapua Halswell Centre, July 1, 3–6pm
Little River School, July 6, 3–6pm
Tai Tapu Hotel, July 6, 10am–1pm
The Gaiety Hall, Akaroa, July 10, 11am–2pm

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
