More money allocated to<br />
help fight climate change<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Mayor Phil Mauger:<br />
“We had a lot of<br />
feedback<br />
from the community<br />
that<br />
they want to see<br />
strong investment<br />
in climate change<br />
mitigation.<br />
“Our low-lying<br />
coastal and<br />
inland parts<br />
Phil<br />
Mauger<br />
of Christchurch are going to be<br />
increasingly impacted as sea levels<br />
rise so it’s important that we start<br />
preparing now.”<br />
The council will also under take<br />
a range of projects to help mitigate<br />
climate change over the next 10<br />
years.<br />
It includes spending $101<br />
million on public transport infrastructure<br />
and bus route reliability,<br />
supporting the ongoing development<br />
of cycling infrastructure<br />
across the city with $199 million<br />
for the Major Cycleway Network<br />
and increasing tree coverage and<br />
canopy through delivery of the<br />
$18 million Urban Forest Plan.<br />
More than $1 billion has also<br />
been allocated to projects that will<br />
improve waterways, reduce flood<br />
risk and support the development<br />
of the Ōtākaro Avon River<br />
Corridor.<br />
