Notification of Ilam Wastewater Works – Temporary Access Re-direction University Drive

Leave a comment

From Monday 2 September, the Christchurch City Council will start a significant wastewater upgrade in Ilam that will affect access to and from Ilam Campus.

The works will affect Creyke Road, Clyde Road through to the Maidstone Road / Waimairi Road intersection, and Clyde Road from Hinau Street to Creyke Road, and will be completed in three stages starting Monday 2 September and running until May 2026.

Works Stage 1:  2 September 2024 – December 2025

The initial stage includes work on Clyde and Creyke roads with traffic flowing north one way on Clyde Road and west one way on Creyke Road. See Christchurch City Council’s information here>

How this could affect you:

– No vehicle entry to Creyke Road from the Ilam Road intersection.

– No vehicle entry to Clyde Road from the Clyde Road / Kotare Street intersection.

– Left turn only onto Creyke Road from Montana Avenue, Engineering Road, and Forestry Road.

– On-street parking on Clyde Road and Creyke Road may be reduced.

– University Drive will be closed from Fine Arts Lane to Clyde Road, finishing late September

Regular updates on the project will be communicated here on Tūpono or can be found at ccc.govt.nz/Ilam-wastewater. Please direct any works enquiries to security@canterbury.ac.nz.

Feel relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to take on the world (or at least, your last week of assignments and tests!)

Using science backed techniques, join our expert teacher on a guided journey to relaxation and a nervous system reset.

Absolutely no experience or equipment required, just you in some comfy clothes doing some gentle stretching and breath work.

At just $8 for UC Students, this is fantastic value as these sessions usually sellout in the community at $45!   What more reason do you need?

Where and when?
  • Sunday 18th August, 11.30am  (arrive by 11.15am to check-in, get settled and not to disturb everyone coming in late)
  • Te Moana nui a Kiwa | Rehua 226 (NOT the RecCentre!)
For more information

Visit our website and hit the link to the portal to enrol.    You’ll need to have your RecCentre registration sorted (remember, that’s free for all UC students, included as part of your student levy).  You can enrol now and pay at your next visit to the gym.

Please refer to our cancellation policies if you can no longer make it. This session sold out last term, so we need 24hours notice of cancellation for a refund, but more importantly so others don’t miss out.

Mindfulness is a scientifically proven technique that can help to manage stress.

Come along to the Living Room space (next to the UC Bookshop) at 8am, settle in and relax for an 8:15 – 8:30 guided mindfulness, then help yourself to some kai and have a kōrero. Then shoot off to a 9am lecture or a uni day fed, relaxed and ready!
