Hi neighbours,

You might notice a new addition to Victoria Square in the new year! A new $319,000 taxpayer-funded sculpture paying tribute to the Treaty of Waitangi signatories is likely to be installed in the Christchurch park.

The two 4.75 metre-tall upright waka, titled Mana Motuhake, is by carver Fayne Robinson, and commemorates the significant Treaty signatories and by extension would support the achievements and memory of Queen Victoria. To read more, click here.

What do you think of the sculpture? Will it add something new to Victoria Square? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!

After 47 years of being enjoyed by thousands of children, New Brighton's original whale paddling pool has been demolished.

The pool and surrounding playground is making way for a $11.2 million hot salt water pool complex in the seaside Christchurch suburb.

A replica has been built in the $5m neighbouring playground, which opened in December 2017, but seeing the original whale go had been hard for some people, North Beach resident and Coastal Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money says.

Hi Everyone,
If you or any friends or family are looking for a fridge freezer on Trade Me, please please DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!!! I sold this one to this man 2 weeks ago and it is not going fine, as he states on his auction. I was told by repairman that it needs a sensor replacement or needs re gassing, which he told me would cost $300-$400. Yes I know it is my old one, as there is still the M&M sticker on the top left of the door. Please share with your friends and family. Thanks

Christchurch's original urban school Ao Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery reopens in a $30 million building on the corner of Colombo and St Asaph streets in April.
But the school won't be like others, with no staffroom, offices, library, playground, or parking.
The school's director says they will use the city as their playground, library, and museum. What do you think of this concept - would you like your child to go to a school in the city centre?
