A new building has arrived on the previously-vacant site beside Papanui Baptist Church on Sawyers Arms Road. The house has been donated to the church by Summerset Group and will be used to accommodate staff who work in the local community.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is consulting on a new rule relating to speed management planning. One aspect of this is a proposal for speed limits will be reduced to 30 km/h (or 40 km/h in some circumstances) around urban schools and a maximum of 60 km/h around rural schools. These speed limits could either be permanent or variable, and controlling authorities such as the Council would be required to introduce an initial 40% of these limits by 30 June 2024, and to use reasonable efforts to complete the remaining by 31 December 2029.

You have probably seen 40 km/h restrictions around schools in the Papanui area. If you have a view on the current proposal, submissions can be made until 5pm on Friday 25 June 2021. Click through for more information and an online submission form:

The Council is seeking feedback on its Representation Review initial proposal. The Representation Review is a process the Council completes every six years, to review things like how many elected members will represent you, Ward boundaries and the make-up of Community Boards. Part of the reason for doing this is to ensure each Ward represents a similar number of people, with a need to adjust boundaries to account for population changes throughout the city.

The Council’s initial proposal is to keep the current system of 16 Wards each electing a single Councillor, and to reduce the number of urban Community Boards from six to five, with each comprising three Wards. Under the current proposal, the Papanui-Innes area would be represented by a new Community Board comprising of the Papanui, Innes and Central Wards.
