Community engagement in the Papanui Ward in Christchurch, New Zealand
Mike Greer Homes is advertising a 31-unit townhouse development at 27-33 Harewood Road. The site, which borders St James Park and the railway line and has mostly been vacant for some years, is planned to hold two- and three-story townhouses with either two or three bedrooms each. Subject to receiving consent from the Council, construction is planned to get underway later this year.
More information is available on the Mike Greer Homes website: http://bit.ly/mghharewood

Update 8:40pm 17 June: comments online suggest many people have water again, but contractors are still at work and there’s traffic management in place on Prestons Rd. Take care if you’re driving in the area.
Do you have low/no water pressure in the Redwood/Northwood area? The Council is aware of a burst pipe and has contractors on their way. No word at this stage of a time to resolve this or whether there is any risk of contamination.
We are aware of a burst water pipe on Prestons Road and water supply issues affecting the Redwood and Northwood area. We have contractors en route to repair the pipe and restore water as soon as possible. ^pmd

Construction underway where three houses were demolished on the south side of the Foodstuffs offices on Main North Road is for an extension to the existing car park. This is not the part of the site to be occupied by Marian College or the future Pak’nSave supermarket.
Have you seen the new signage on the former Warehouse Stationery building behind the Papanui Library on Langdons Road? Think Papanui understands an indoor trampoline park will be opening here later this month.
