Welcome to our January newsletter
Happy New Year from your Community Board
Message from the Chair
Welcome to the first edition of our monthly Community Board newsletter for 2020.
On behalf of the Coastal-Burwood Community Board, I hope you have all had safe and enjoyable holidays and are looking forward to what the year will bring.
My Board and I will be getting out and about in the community and setting out some key priorities that we want to achieve over the next 12 months. We are delighted to be here and to serve you all.
Board Chair, Kelly Barber

'Water like you oughta’ this summer
Most summers, the demand for water in Christchurch can double or even triple. That's why we're asking you to think carefully about how and when you use water, particularly outside - or in other words, 'water like you oughta'. This is so our water supply doesn't come under too much pressure.
More time needed for New Brighton Clock Tower
The heritage clock tower requires more extensive repairs than originally planned. While working on the restoration, contractors found sections of the concrete to be in a worse condition than initial engineering investigations suggested. We're now expecting the clock tower to be fully restored by March 2020.
Permanent alcohol ban for rugby league fields
We're proposing a new permanent alcohol ban for rugby league playing fields and adjoining areas, to minimise the potential for alcohol-related offensive behaviour, to protect public safety and to create a friendlier environment during games.
Consultation closes 27 January.
South New Brighton landscape plans approved
Work to reduce erosion is a step closer after the Community Board approved landscaping plans for a proposed bund from south of Bridge Street to the jetty. We need to remove some trees to construct the bund and once complete, we're planning to mass plant native vegetation and 270 new trees.
Join the conversation about home-share accommodation
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula residents are being asked to help shape a decision on the best option for managing home-share accommodation in our district.
Immerse yourself in Christchurch's best summer reads
From a best-selling debut novel packed with family angst to a wayward tale of tangled emotions to an epic crime novel, Christchurch City Libraries staff have found the ideal books for both home and away holidays. Check out your local library for great reads for all ages.
New Brighton Seaside Market
Every Saturday until 18 January, New Brighton's pedestrian mall is filled with colour and creativity! Come down to the seaside and enjoy live entertainment, great food, fresh produce, arts, crafts, vintage, jewelry and more. There's also a bouncy castle and free face painting for the little ones.
