Proposed zipline would pump $4m into Hanmer Springs economy in five years
Twenty-five new tourism jobs may be created at the popular Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa complex if a new multimillion-dollar ride gets the go-ahead.
The Canterbury company has lodged a resource consent application with the Hurunui District Council to build an 850-metre-long downhill zipline on the village’s Conical Hill Reserve.
The consent is open for submissions until April 19 and, if approved, the ride will be up and flying by the end of the year.

New Business
Hi everyone I am starting a handyman / home assist business. I am able to do most tasks from Flatpack assembly to building planter boxes or just getting those jobs done that need doing around the house like clearing out rubbish water blasting the paths etc. I am local in Swannanoa and happy to travel within the Waimakariri area. Feel free to email me on 27vtwin@gmail.com or call me on 021500623

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
