House to buy in Somerfield School Zones
We are a family of 4 (plus 2 golden retrievers) recently moved back to CHCH from Brisbane and we are urgently looking for a house to purchase in the Somerfield area before the school year commences. My husband and I have a 12 yr old daughter and a 10 yr old son.
We previously lived in Avonside during the 2010-2011 timeframe and moved back to Brisbane when we were red zoned. We call CHCH home and fought hard to return here and now we're lucky enough to move back with my husbands job.
We are looking for a min of 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas would be ideal, min of 600m2 block and we are happy to look at any updating that needs doing. So if you or anyone you know are about to place your house on the market or thinking about it in the coming months, we would love to hear from you.
Cheers
Karla & Justin

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
