Christchurch City Council’s Waimairi Ward councillor Sam MacDonald said the council has been asked to comment on a fast‑track application for a Costco store on vacant land between Memorial Avenue and Avonhead Road, close to Christchurch airport.
The council’s Head of Planning and Consents, Mark Stevenson, noted a letter from the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport dated 16 September 2026 inviting written comments, and that staff provided written feedback on 7 October 2026; the application has not yet been published on the Government’s fast‑track website.
