The Christchurch City Council has adopted a proposal for Christchurch’s representation arrangements, including the inclusion of Central Ward in an expanded Waipapa/Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board area, and tweaks to the boundaries of Papanui Ward. Redwood Springs is now proposed to remain part of the Ward (along with the rest of Redwood), while there are changes in the vicinity of Veitches Rd and Innes Road. This proposal will be referred to the Local Government Commission for a final determination following a statutory ‘appeals and objections’ period. Click through for more information:
