Plan to attract central city dwellers in Christchurch already falling behind

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Project 8011, a council-run programme aimed at increasing the central city's residential population to 20,000 by 2028, has a "needs support" designation by council staff, which Cr James Gough thought was "being kind".

The project's plights include a report that's nearly six months overdue about incentives for homebuyers.

Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

Another encouraging result as another drop puts it into the 2400 zone, the best since Feb 2022
It is still concerning that Cant seems slower to drop 16.6% again and I found out today, that both my next-door neighbours had it last week and are struggling to get over it.
Stay safe folks.
