North Canterbury Scouting venue Blue Skies sold to developers
Kaiapoi's Blue Skies, a 6.8 hectare property with buildings, was sold in March for $2.8m, above its valuation of $2.55m in August this year.
It was sold to Williams Waimak Ltd, a company owned by interests of Christchurch businessmen Garry, Andrew and Jason Donnithorne.
Garry Donnithorne declined to say why the venue had been bought or what the plans were for the site, but said that at the moment it would continue to be run as a venue for hire.
"Our original intention is probably not what we are going to do now, but in the meantime we'll run it as the Scouts run it, honouring all the bookings they've taken and all forward bookings, and they have usages over it."

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
