More parking, new community hubs key projects for Waimakariri District Council
The Waimakariri District Council has proposed constructing a parking building in Rangiora and new community centres in Ravenswood and Pegasus as the district’s population continues to grow.
The council’s previous long-term plan included $6.3 million to buy more land and facilities for car parking, but that was no longer expected to be enough to meet the expected demand. It is proposing to spend another $11.3m in 2028-30 to build a car park building with between 180 and 280 spaces.
The council has also proposed spending $4.7m for land in Pegasus to build a community centre within two to four years.
Another $4.3m was proposed for land at Ravenswood for a swimming pool. Construction of a community centre in Ravenswood would get under way in 2029-30.
