From local democracy reporter David Hill:

A quarry to excavate gravel could be established at Okuku River, north of Rangiora.

Environment Canterbury (ECan) has confirmed it has received a resource consent application from Darwin Earthworks Ltd to excavate gravel from the Okuku River bed, to install temporary culverts and to disturb the river bed.

A permit to discharge contaminants to air, as a result of excavation works, has also been sought.

Darwin Earthworks Ltd is the landowner of the property at 216 Riverside Rd.

The application says the company plans to use the material for further local development and construction activities.

An ECan spokesperson said the council is conducting an assessment of the project’s environmental effects.

If those effects were considered to be ‘‘more than minor’’, the resource consent would be publicly notified, as required under Section 95A of the Resource Management Act.

‘‘When we make a decision on a resource consent, we consider the effects on the natural environment and how the activity will affect other people's use and enjoyment of the environment,’’ the spokesperson said.

ECan is awaiting expert advice on the consent proposals before making ‘‘a notification assessment’’.

By reporter Tatiana Gibbs:

Artisan by Rangiora Bakery is officially home to New Zealand’s best stollen, taking out the top spot in the 2022 Baking New Zealand Christmas Competition.

The North Canterbury favourite pulled out a special family recipe in their mission to be crowned the country's best.

A stollen is a European Christmas bread, loaded with fruits, nuts, marzipan and coated with powdered or icing sugar.

The bakery’s general manager, Frank Janssen, used an original family recipe from his forefather’s bakery back home in Holland, and with the help of his Rangiora team, created their own signature stollen.

“That recipe is very traditional and lovely to eat. For the competition we wanted to enrich it a bit more with spice and nuts. We wanted a nutty flavour and the warmth of the spice to come through,” Janssen said.


“Even the marzipan core of our stollen was made from scratch in the bakery.”

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
