Waimakariri mayor hits out as Wolfbrook seeks fast-track Pegasus approval

Hana Stewart2026-06-25T22:00:55.000Z

ffs another developer trying to steamroll a community. Pegasus residents better get ready for a years-long fight.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T22:32:55.000Z

mate. They always do.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-25T22:17:55.000Z

What a load of shit. The golf course is one of the few good things left in Pegasus.

Eva Anderson2026-06-25T22:27:55.000Z

agree. The course is stunning, this would be a tragedy.

Kai Thompson2026-06-25T22:27:55.000Z

Typical. Wolfbrook probably bought it with the sole intention of building houses. Greedy buggers.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T22:55:55.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed Wolfbrook. We don't need more cookie-cutter subdivisions.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-25T23:24:55.000Z

Eva Anderson2026-06-25T23:21:55.000Z

Honestly gutted. I learned to golf there as a kid. Now it's just another profit margin.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T23:42:55.000Z

Fast-track approval for this? Absolute joke. Council should grow a spine.

Hana Stewart2026-06-26T00:28:55.000Z

good one 😂 they'll probably be $1.2m each too

Drew Parker2026-06-25T23:57:55.000Z

lol watch them build overpriced townhouses that no one can afford

Hana Stewart2026-06-26T00:28:55.000Z

Wouldn't surprise me if some councilors have their hands in Wolfbrook's pockets.

Drew Parker2026-06-26T00:43:55.000Z

too right. probably already got the consent drafted lol

Ruby Fraser2026-06-26T01:06:55.000Z

the mayor seems genuine about this one, but the rest of the council dunno.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-26T00:39:55.000Z

Can we just once prioritise green space over concrete? ffs

Kai Thompson2026-06-26T00:48:55.000Z

Mayor's hitting out but watch them cave the second the developer offers a 'community donation'.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-26T00:58:55.000Z

old story. Money talks.
