Property Council submission to Christchurch City Council on speed limits surrounding One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha

On 8 July 2025, the Property Council submitted on speed limits surrounding One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha.

Why this matters to our members

Our members invest in Christchurch and wish to see a vibrant and functional city.

Our view

We recommend that Christchurch City Council retain the existing 50km/h speed limit on the surrounding streets of Te Kaha and retain the current 30km/h speed limit on Lichfield Street. In the current tight fiscal environment, this is a sensible approach, as average operating speeds already range between 21km/h and 41km/h. This allows the Council to achieve its safety objectives without incurring the $14,000 implementation cost of changing speed limits.
