737 cleared for take-off<br />
If you were wondering where<br />
this former Qantas Boeing 737-<br />
300 was taking off to as it left<br />
Christchurch Airport early last<br />
Monday morning, it has landed.<br />
The fuselage of the aircraft is<br />
now on a property in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
district, where it will stay until<br />
the owner decides where its final<br />
destination will be.<br />
The owner, who declined to<br />
be named, said he was unable<br />
to reveal details of what would<br />
eventually happen to the aircraft.<br />
But <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> understands<br />
it will be converted into<br />
accommodation, possibly in the<br />
high country.<br />

COST: <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents have mixed views over whether they<br />
should help pay for Christchurch’s planned sports arena.<br />
Forking out for city stadium<br />
•From page 1<br />
Dunsandel Community Committee<br />
chairman Russell Dalzell<br />
believes <strong>Selwyn</strong> ratepayers should<br />
fork out for the stadium.<br />
“Some of them (residents)<br />
just think it’s rugby only<br />
but its not all just about<br />
rugby, and I think that’s<br />
where the problem lies. It’s<br />
more about attracting other<br />
events to the city that we<br />
need,” he said.<br />
But Weedons Residents’<br />
Association secretary Gary Doyle<br />
said he wouldn’t support the idea<br />
until knew more.<br />
“I’m opposed to contributing<br />
to anything before I<br />
know the costs of involved,”<br />
he said.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Sam Broughton<br />
said the district council<br />
needs more clarity from the<br />
city council on the stadium<br />
project before speaking to<br />
ratepayers.<br />
“We haven’t discussed it with<br />
anyone in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />

Recently, Minister for Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration Megan<br />
Woods said the city council<br />
and the Crown had fast-tracked<br />
work on the stadium to the<br />
point where planning can<br />
start.<br />
Concerns have previously<br />
been raised by district<br />
councillors over the lack of<br />
communication surrounding<br />
how the stadium will be<br />
funded. District councillor<br />
Craig Watson told the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> if ratepayers are<br />
expected to fund the stadium,<br />
they need to be part of the<br />
conversation from the beginning.<br />
“I am not happy to find<br />
out at the 11th hour our<br />
ratepayers are going to be<br />
hit with a rate if we are not<br />
consulted on it,” he said.<br />
