Waimakariri District Council
Recreation and culture
From parks and libraries to museums and art galleries, councils can be a key supporter of sporting, recreational and cultural events that bring communities to life. Community facilities, including sports grounds and town halls, are often owned and run by councils.

Promote community events and festivals in our district, which will bring people in to spend money in our local economy.
Establish a bigger and better community centre for the Pegasus/Ravenswood area. This is a high growth area that needs a quality facility.
Maintain our parks and public facilities to a high standard so that people will feel safe and comfortable to use them for sport/recreation
Support developing community events and as opposed to each township competing, working in collaboration with each other.
Support looking at designs and initiatives to reduce ongoing maintenance costs of parks and reserves.
Support looking creatively at new sports, ie esports, frisbee golf etc to invigorate parks, as opposed to installing out of date amenities.
Encourage library staff to get out in the community, running courses and aiding in continual learning.
Work with youth to make sure the youth spaces are right for them and give them what they want, within budget.
Start work on Pegasus community centre to provide for the growing communities of Pegasus, Woodend and Ravenswood, and also the youth space.
Review the Local Alcohol Policy to introduce density provisions for off-licences but otherwise confirm the policy.
Support the revised Gambling Bylaw to minimise harm through gaming machine gambling whilst retaining choice for residents.
Introduce licensing of vape retailers and restrict density and locations to minimise harm to the community.
These topics requires lots of resident consultation. I don't think the council should make significant changes without significant feedback.
