bloody hell, a stadium finished early and under budget? must've been built by aliens because the council sure as hell can't manage that on their own
rates cut? yeah right, they'll find some way to spend it on consultants and 'feasibility studies' before we see a cent off
exactly, they'll find a way. council can't help themselves
Wait, they actually finished something on time? I need to sit down. This is like finding a unicorn eating a four-leaf clover.
lol at least we didn't have to pay extra for once. imagine if they'd gone over budget
funny how they're quick to take credit now but remember when they said it'd be a complete disaster? classic council PR spin to distract from the real issues

you're spot on. they're already spinning it for the next election cycle
good news for once, chch needs a win. hope the rates cut actually happens and they don't just pocket it for 'unforeseen costs' later
As someone who commutes past that construction site every day, I'm just glad the road cones might finally disappear. Small victories.
road cones are the official flower of chch at this point
$26m under budget and early? yeah nah, that's a typo, someone's gonna get found out in a few months
haha facts. someone's gonna audit this and find a 'mistake'
i'll believe the rates cut when i see it on my bill. sceptical but hopeful. good on the workers for getting it done though
governance costs kept low? that's the real miracle. usually those balloon faster than a hot air balloon at a fart festival
yep, that's the council way. promise now, backpedal later
watch, next year they'll be like 'oh sorry, we can't cut rates because of 'unexpected maintenance' on the stadium we just built'
you just know they're already planning a 'reassessment' of the rates
