Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?

The Waimakariri District Council has approved a town centre for Ravenswood.
The council on Tuesday voted to pass private plan change 30 (PC30), amending the district plan to create a business zone, or town centre, in the North Canterbury town.
Ravenswood Developments Ltd lodged the request, which was originally notified by the council in October 2020, to create a key activity area with 35,000sqm of gross floor area.
After the application was declined by independent commissioners in November 2021, Ravenswood Developments Ltd appealed to the Environment Court, where the matter was resolved through mediation with the council.
The revised plan has a gross floor area of 25,500sqm.
‘‘This has been a long process,’’ mayor Dan Gordon said.
‘‘We were opposed to the initial scale of the development, because we wanted to ensure the Kaiapoi and Rangiora business centres were not compromised. There was agreement through mediation.
‘‘We have seen Harvey Norman and other large retailers being attracted to Ravenswood, so this gives our residents more choices and reduces the need for people to travel into Christchurch.’’
Development planning manager Matt Bacon said the changes had been accounted for in the proposed Waimakariri District Plan.

Organisers said their efforts had "blown us away".
"To all the people who have supported our participants, whether it is financially, emotionally, physically, or on the side lines - thank you so much for supporting your people," they said in a Facebook post.
Organisers confirmed $85,000 had been raised as of Monday.

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.
Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.
Find out more about how the Graeme Dingle Foundation helps kiwis like Jaleel.
