It is understood that the owner lives overseas and the house is empty. (See photos below).
There is an invasive weed growing on the property called Californian thistle and it needs to be removed immediately before the thistle seed/flowers spread. This thistle has also grown tall and fallen over onto the footpath where it will be kicked/knocked by pedestrians then easily spread; or, the flowers will disperse and spread as soon as there is a light breeze.
I am an ex farmer and know the only way to eradicate this type of thistle is by spraying however if these thistles get to dry off, they will not only spread throughout the neighbourhood but they will also become a fire hazard.
I have informed the Council and Environment Canterbury but I don't expect they will act as urgently they should.
Does anyone know the owner personally? Could you contact him/her to let them know about it and inquire why the property is not being maintained?
If you live near the property, I encourage you to notify the council - more complaints will likely get some action.

Neighbours believe the house under construction on Rata St in Riccarton may have been approved based on inaccurate figures.
However, owners Mike and Lynn Dore say they followed the advice of consultants and believe the consents are correct.

well established Raspberry Canes 2+ years old were propagated for a friend who was transferred - 14 available... will sell a few or all as required $5.00 per cane. If they are cut back and planted now, lovely fruit for next year!
These are summer Nov/Dec fruiting raspberries and are gorgeous.

Perhaps you're a first-time home owner who has opted to build, rather than buy pre-existing, or maybe you're seasoned home owners who have taken the first step to create your own dream home.
We'd love to hear from you about the challenges involved in building, and why you've opted to take that route. Any interviewees would need to be willing to be identified and photographed in a news story.
Please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.
