Christchurch to get 30,000-seat stadium after council bends to the will of the people

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Christchurch will get a 30,000-seat stadium after the city council bowed to public pressure and ditched an earlier decision to build a smaller venue.

Christchurch will get a 30,000-seat stadium after the city council bowed to public pressure and ditched an earlier decision to build a smaller venue.

The larger stadium will cost an additional $50 million, lifting the total budget to $523m, but some councillors have warned the cost could escalate well past $600m.

If the $50m cannot be found elsewhere, Christchurch ratepayers will end up paying an additional $13.70 in rates each year for 29 years from 2024-25 – the cost of an annual takeaway burger combo.

In desperation, I dropped flyers around the Redwood area asking if anyone wanted to sell, and, thanks to the responses from so many of you, this lovely young couple now own a slice of Redwood. They'll be a fantastic addition to the hood and wanted me to pass on their gratitude to you all. So, from the three of us, here's a warm felt and genuine THANK YOU to you all!!

Oceania has always believed in better and so does The Bellevue’s Care Manager, Russell.

Since returning to the South Island five years ago, Russell has been proud to witness Christchurch’s resurgence. “Christchurch is like a phoenix risen from the ashes, with a tremendous opportunity to redefine itself.” And now he is playing his part in reimagining our city’s aged care offering.

Russell has built his team at The Bellevue with one goal in mind. “As the Care Manager I believe I have a principle responsibility to set the scene in providing an environment where staff can truly excel, feel empowered and make a positive difference to the lives of residents, families and each other.”

During the transition to care, extra support is provided. “Our fantastic Guest Services Manager is the key to helping residents feel at ease when they first move in, as she provides a hospitality overlay. She’ll get to know you so that she can provide all the extra touches that make you feel at home,” says Russell.

Another initiative Russell is proud of is that couples can stay together in the same room, even if their needs are not aligned. Russell has seen the impact it has on residents - “It is just wonderful to offer couples Care Suites which allow couples to stay together – just as they always have,” says Russell.

To find out more about our Care Suites, with Rest Home and Hospital level care, get in touch with Russell today.

Kia Ora all!
I have in depth, varied and comprehensive background in working with children and babysitting, so if you're in need of childcare look no further! I've been working with children in both care and learning environments since I was 14. I'm currently a swim teacher with a knack for teaching under 5's and can provide regular and irregular care.
I can do most times in the day, including school drop off and pick ups, plus day care and evening care and daily adventures! Multitasking is the name of the game and I have it down pat, so multiple kids are no issue at all.
I have my full drivers licence and a comprehensive first aid certificate, plus have passed the council background checks.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to know more!
