This article in The Press gives an insight into what may be developed in the former Foodstuffs grocery warehouse behind the Northcote / Main North Road intersection – an ‘entertainment and sports terminus’, catering for netball, basketball, volleyball, and futsal. Earlier this week the Nor’West News reported that the complex could also house options such as 10-pin bowling, Laser Strike, and Clip ‘n Climb. It looks like the developers are asking the Council to commit to leasing the facility (at a ‘drop in the bucket’ cost of $1.5 million a year) before the development goes ahead.

An update on the proposal to discontinue the 107 and 108 bus routes through Papanui: at Think Papanui’s appearance at the ECan Long Term Plan hearing this morning, Chair Steve Lowndes was heard to say that discontinuation of bus services is “not a fait accompli”. That’s a positive and hopeful thing to hear, although it doesn’t completely align with the draft plan, in which closure of the bus routes is included in every option presented. More to come.
