From reporter Steven Walton:
Christchurch’s 30,000-seat stadium, Te Kaha, has blown its budget by at least another $50 million, Stuff understands.

City councillors will soon have to decide whether they either increase the $533m budget once again, head back to the drawing board or pause the project.

Council staff are refusing to comment on the spiralling costs, saying more information will be available in the coming weeks.

But the council has advised the Treasury of issues with the budget, a spokesperson for the Government department said. Read more here.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind.

We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed

PACIFIC FLEET WINDSURFING.

Although our directive is to cater to any and all who wish to take up the sport of windsurfing, our primary focus is to encourage and support any Māori and Pacifica kids into the sport, who would not normally be encouraged into this adrenaline extreme sport. I believe after more than 30 years of windsurfing myself that the benefits of windsurfing combat mental health through stress release and the feeling of being Intune with nature has always made me wish I had been introduced to this sport in my young troubled years. At the time no one was offering to guide pacific and Māori youth into windsurfing, it was seen as an elitist sport, and a financial burden, we intend to take that burden away as much as possible through supplying equipment from beginner through to intermediate, until participants are old enough to know which direction they would be willing to take in this sport if it is their desire to continue, and with our help guide and direct them should they wish to pursue the Olympic dream. For information on joining contact robdinks@gmail.com and look at the Facebook page of PACIFIC FLEET WINDSURFING.

From reporter Steven Walton:
What will Greater Christchurch look like when one million people live here? Where will the big roads be, where will all the housing be built?

These are the questions that fall to a committee of Canterbury mayors, Ngāi Tahu, and transport authorities. Now it is set to be bolstered, with Housing Minister Megan Woods and Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta getting a seat at the table.

The Government is teaming up with local authorities to plan what Greater Christchurch, the area covering Waimakariri, Christchurch City, and Selwyn, will look like in 30 years time.

Called Whakawhanake Kāinga (Urban Growth Partnership) Committee, it will be tasked with determining how the region can grow sustainably – ensuring that as the population increases, carbon emissions and house prices head the other way.

The first meeting will be on May 13. Continue reading here.
