Motorists will soon have to pay $15 to park all day in a city council-owned central Christchurch parking building.

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.

One myth about sport every parent should know

The Team from ACC New Zealand

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.

We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:
