getting a new flag

New Zealand’s flag choice has been trimmed to 4 designs. Three fern designs and one koru design are the options that could go head-to-head with the current New Zealand flag in a referendum next year. The final four new national flag designs were revealed yesterday at a function in Wellington. The public will be asked to rank them to decide the final option in a referendum to be held later this year. This will determine which of the designs will run against the current flag in a second referendum in March 2016 to decide which flag New Zealand will use in the future. A panel chose 40 from more than 10,000 designs submitted by the public, and Cabinet signed off on the final four yesterday. The first referendum is set to be held between 20 November and 11 December, and the entire project is expected to cost over $25 million.

christchurch getting new street signs

The Christchurch City Council has put aside nearly $100,000 for four massive street signs, that will help people navigate the central city.

The signs necessity comes after the earthquakes resulting in a loss of several of the central city landmarks, which consequently is making it hard for pedestrians to find their way around. The signs will be installed as ‘Signal Towers’, that will provide map details to key locations as well as have space for advertising and solar-powered speakers to play music.

The towers are large structures, being 8m in total height and they are thought to have at least a lifespan of five years. It is hoped they will be ready to be installed by late October, right on time for the summer season.
