Summary
Christchurch’s port future just got more local — and more contentious. CCHL has rejected a big lease proposal from DP World and local iwi, calling the offer uncompetitive despite strong effort. The city council backs keeping the port in-house, and CCHL is confident its own team can manage growth and safety.
