The new plan for the city's Cathedral Square will see a mix of green and paved surfaces to create a strong city heart and encourage events. Its execution is intended to be phased, rolled out in stages as building projects around the square were completed.
As suggested in a draft concept released last year, the redesigned square would have three main spaces, each with their own character – a green zone with trees and water southeast of Christ Church Cathedral, a youth-friendly meeting space by the new library, and a large event and meeting space on the western side.
Were you aware of the plans? What do you think about them? Do you like the designs? Is there anything missing?

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.
A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.
"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.
Weeks later, neighbourhood Italian restaurant The Birdwood opened in Beckenham, and after giving them a chance to find their feet, I subjected the staff to the cruelest of tests: bringing four ravenous boys on a wet Saturday night.
When we booked, we had been warned that we would be at a high bar table and when I saw how packed the restaurant was when we arrived, I had to apologise as three boys had turned into four. Would that be a problem? It took some scrambling to find a spare chair but we were seated, no problem.
