The approach is a first for Christchurch City Council and could pave the way for other communities to use the method to raise money for facilities.
The money would pay for a $1.3 million council grant to the Akaroa Community Health Trust to help build the $5.9m Akaroa Health Centre.

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.
"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.
But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.

The Crusaders name debate has been hotly disputed after the terrorist attack in Christchurch, where 51 people were killed after a gunman opened fire on Muslim worshippers in two mosques in the city.
The name-change pressure emerged because of the centuries-old sensitivity over the history of the Crusades, which were bloody medieval conflicts between Muslims and Christians.

The Christchurch City Council decided to increase the price from $10 to $15 citing the Christchurch Hospital park-and-ride operating from the parking building and new shops and businesses opening nearby.
"There is now high demand for short stay parking and the Lichfield St parking building regularly nears capacity," it said.
The new charge will start on July 1. The council said it hoped charging more would free up more short stay parking spaces.
The Lichfield St car park building has 805 parks and initially ran below capacity.

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.
Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.
