The shared path linking Grassmere and Rutland Stre

The shared path linking Grassmere and Rutland Streets is set to be closed through most of July for construction of the Grassmere to Mays Water Supply Link. The path is part of the Papanui Parallel major cycle route, and both cyclists and pedestrians will be required to detour while work is underway, which will also impact the link through Rutland Reserve to Cranford Street. The work is part of a package of enabling infrastructure projects supported by Infrastructure Acceleration Funding to enable housing development in the East Papanui / Cranford Basin area. $30.9 million in infrastructure funding for Papanui was announced in 2022.

The Local Government Commission has upheld ECan's

The Local Government Commission has upheld ECan's final proposal for representation arrangements for the 2025 local election onwards. This means that Papanui Ward moves into ECan's Christchurch Central/Ōhoko constituency from the North-East/Ōrei constituency. Residents in Papanui Ward will find themselves voting for Regional Councillors who will represent an area comprised of Papanui, Fendalton, Riccarton, and Central Wards. This will also perhaps impact which constituency aspiring Regional Councillors living in Papanui choose to stand in.
