The thingthat stood out mostfor me wasthe Ministry of Transport’s comments. The funding model is going to need abig reviewasthe revenue sources continue to change. Withthe currentmodelitwon’tbe longbefore onlyrenewaland maintenanceworkcan be funded. It reinforcestome, morethanever, thatweare doingthe right thing in our LongTerm Plan. Focusingonour roads and footpathsnow to bring them up to datebefore funding dries up. Lastweek aThreeWaters Reform workinggrouppublished its report on rural drinking water supplies, including somesound recommendationsonpricingand charging. It will be interesting to seehow many of the recommendations the Ministerwill takeonboard. This month we willbeconfirming theAnnualPlan for <strong>2022</strong>23. We arenot toofar off with our projected rates withoutsacrificing anyprojects. Ibelieve that is beyond awesome giventhe waythe world is nowand howmuchcosts and inflation have risen. Finally, we are waitingtohear aboutthe funding for the Mayors Task Force for Jobsnext year. When it comes to helping our youth into workit’s one of thebest ‘bang for buck’ projects outthereinmy opinion,sowehave our fingers crossed.

The SilverstreamBoulevard connection was officiallyopened last Friday, joining Silverstream directly to KaiapoiCentral. The boulevard will help unite the two communities and improve traffic flow between the two centres. Fred Rahme, director of Lime Developments, the group behind Silverstream Estate, says for the first time in its history, the Silverstream community, including the residential area, all the amenities, and The Sterling Retirement Village, will no longer be segregated from Kaiapoi. ‘‘Silverstream residents will now have open and convenient access to all that Kaiapoi has to offer. ‘‘Vice versa, Kaiapoi residents will now find it very easy to access all the premium amenities available in Silverstream, including the medicalcentre, the pharmacy, the cafes, and the retirement McALPINES MITRE 10 MEGA RANGIORA -OCEAN WATCH This Week Sun Fishing Guide Moon Wind Ok Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Jun <strong>16</strong> Jun 17 Jun 18 Jun 19 Jun 20 Jun 21 Jun 22 Rise 7:59am Set 5:00pm Best Times 1:37am 2:10pm Set 9:51am Rise 6:33pm Ok village.’’ The road upgrade will also create astrong incentive for those travelling south from Rangiora to come through the centre of Silverstream and into Kaiapoi, rather than driving past to the motorway, says Mr Rahme. Research sponsored by Lime Developments shows that <strong>North</strong> Cantabrians spend significant amounts of disposable income in the Christchurch Central area, rather than accessing those same services and facilities in Kaiapoi or Silverstream. ‘‘Silverstream Boulevard will help in changing that,’’ says Rahme. ‘‘Withthe opening of this important connection point, the Kaiapoi and Silverstream communitieshave got amuch better chance of capturing the escape expenditure we are experiencing at the moment.’’ ‘‘In Silverstream,wehave really highend specialist amenities –the pharmacy, the medical centre, endodontists, dentists, physiotherapists, audiologists –these services will Rise 8:00am Set 5:00pm Best Times 2:43am 3:15pm Set 10:45am Rise 7:51pm Ok Rise 8:00am Set 5:00pm Best Times 3:45am 4:14pm Set 11:27am Rise 9:11pm Rise 8:00am Set 5:00pm Gentle W Moderate SW Gentle SW Moderate SW Ok Best Times complementthose services in Kaiapoi.” The Silverstream Boulevard upgrade will also improveaccess to The Sterling, Kaiapoi,the new borderless retirement village under constructionin Silverstream. The village is one of the single largest private investments ever seen in Kaiapoi. When completed, it is expected to create over 350 jobs, many of which will be takenupby Kaiapoiand district locals. The new thoroughfare will also helpestablish anew ‘Silverstream Loop’ pathway. This will extend Kaiapoi’s walking and cycling paths throughSilverstream and to the recently restored Butchers Foot Bridge. Fourteen years in the making, the completionofSilverstream Boulevard represents ahuge joint effort by Lime Developments and the Waimakariri Council, and is one that will likely have significant and ongoingsocialand economic impacts in the area. 4:42am 5:08pm Set 12:00pm Rise 10:28pm Good Rise 8:01am Set 5:00pm Best Times 5:34am 5:58pm Set 12:26pm Rise 11:40pm Moderate SW turning S Good Rise 8:01am Set 5:00pm Best Times 6:21am 6:43pm Set 12:49pm Moderate SW turning SE Letter of gratitude DearEditor, My latefatheroften stated—givecreditwherecredit is due.
