About this listen
Christchurch local news noon update for January 30, 2026. We are tracking the source of a widespread wastewater smell that has generated hundreds of complaints from Papanui to St Martins, and looking at why Canterbury rents are climbing while the rest of the country cools off.
We also check in on the new Court Theatre where the architect is defending the design amidst grumbles about the seating. On the positive side, we break down the massive five million dollar economic boost Ed Sheeran brought to the Garden City, and celebrate local Olympian Hamish Kerr's unique new way to fight climate change. Stay informed with ExtraLocal Christchurch, your daily source for Christchurch news and Canterbury community updates.
