Leave a comment

Facilities management will be completing tree works on the river margin of Haere-roa (Avon) stream on University Drive, in the vicinity of the Recreation Centre and Recreation Centre Offices, this Friday 11 October.

Contractors will be working from 8.00am until 4.30pm removing damaged branches and completing some crown reduction to improve the tree form and shape.

What do you need to do?

While contractors are working:

  • Be aware of moving machinery, and machinery noise.
  • Do not enter the fenced off area.

We appreciate your consideration as we perform these essential maintenance works.

Public transport influences urban design and development, and in turn impacts health and social wellbeing. Increasing patronage of public transport is also one way to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. Environment Canterbury has just released the draft Regional Public Transport Plan for public feedback here.

Now is the time to learn more about how public transport is delivered collaboratively in the region with local Councils, NZTA and other partners, and find out how to have your say about this 10-year plan.
