Merry Christmas from the Halswell Hornby Riccarton Community Board!
Kia ora to the southwest!
We at the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!
With significant community facilities coming for Hornby and Riccarton, a fantastic new skate park for Knights Stream and construction underway on stage two of Riccarton Road’s upgrade, it’s been quite a year!
Riccarton Road has come a long way this year, with the completion of stage one of its upgrade.
The Wigram Air Crash Memorial unveiling, the Hello Hornby event, new toilets for Harrington Park and Halswell Quarry’s Patterson House’s new look are some of our highlights for the busy year that’s been.
We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for southwest Christchurch.
Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays,
From the Waipuna (Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton) Community Board and the Christchurch City Council

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
