Sinopsis

There's opposition to making Christchurch a super city. Moves to overhaul New Zealand’s local body system has prompted a submission from the City Council calling for a new structure for the city. City councillors unanimously agreed to the submission, although two disagreed with the bid to become a super city, known in legislation as a unitary authority. Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton says it sounds like imposing the Auckland model on Canterbury. "I don't know that super city in Auckland's done local particularly well, and I would hate to lose the local play that we've got in greater Christchurch by thinking about moving to a super city."
