Record Breaking (7000) Submissions on Council's Spending Plan

"An extraordinary number of Ōtautahi residents have told the Christchurch City Council where ratepayer money should be spent over the next 10 years.

Nearly 7000 people submitted feedback on the council’s draft long-term plan (LTP) - about three times as many than in 2021, when the last plan was created.

The high volume is likely due to the number of city institutions warning they’ll collapse without public funding and launching campaigns for support in the last few weeks."
