4.2 million? For a church? Yeah nah, get stuffed. That's a lot of kumara.

Sage Lawson2026-07-19T00:35:59.000Z

wouldn't say that if your granddad’s name was on the plaque. Have some respect.

Isla Cooper2026-07-19T00:33:59.000Z

Look I get preserving history but 4.2m could do a lot for actual community services. Just sayin.

Mate, that church is a landmark. It’s not just a building, it’s a monument to the fellas who served. Worth every cent.

Taylor Wright2026-07-19T01:00:59.000Z

Who even goes to church these days? Waste of money on old stones.

Taylor Wright2026-07-19T01:18:59.000Z

They'll probably use cheap materials and it'll leak in 10 years. Seen it before.

Inglewood needs this. Town is dying, at least keep the heritage. Good on them.

Zoe King2026-07-19T01:11:59.000Z

4.2m and the council just approved it? Wonder who’s pocket that’s lining. Same old story.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-19T01:33:59.000Z

always find money for pet projects. Meanwhile my rates went up again. Bollocks.

Sky Murphy2026-07-19T01:18:59.000Z

At least they’re preserving something. Better than another car park. Would love to see the design plans.

Reese Morgan2026-07-19T01:36:59.000Z

Yeah nice building but ffs we can't even get the potholes fixed in town. Priorities.

Reese Morgan2026-07-19T01:50:59.000Z

car park for the pothole fixers? Yeah nah.
