Hi - I am a Waimairi Beach local, year 8 student at Rawhiti Primary School (North New Brighton). My class mates and I are currently fundraising for year 8 Rawhiti School leavers hoodies to all get at the end of the year.

It’s the first time our school has done this, we are lucky to be helping to design them.

Thank you - Charli ❤️

We are working with Renew Brighton and the local residents associations (Waimairi Beach to South Shore) to help finalize,

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻

Please head on over to https://www.emergencynewbrighton.org/ to see what its all about.

PFWB is currently in its infancy with small membership but large aspirations.  Sandwiched between the coastline, a forest and Travis wetland the potential for Waimairi Beach to be a haven for native plants, birds, invertebrates and lizards is significant.

If you would like to join the ‘battle for the birds’ contact us and we can provide a boxed trap for your backyard for $15. You can then record your catches on Trap NZ and keep tabs on your successes.

Have you seen something around our community that needs attention? Dumped rubbish? A crashed or abandoned car? Street lights that are not working etc,

If what you are seeing is not an emergency the fastest way to see this resolved is to download the Christchurch City Council App from the iOS or Goole store

There are more than 100 things to do in New Brighton that won’t cost you a cent. This map was put together by Christchurch NZ, New Brighton Pier and Foreshore Society, Youth Alive Trust, Te Waka Aroha, South Brighton Playcentre and Wellbeing New Brighton.

So why spend money when you can have amazing experiences for free?
