Show Notes

There's hope the Commonwealth Games could return to Christchurch fifty years on from the 1974 event.

Mayor Phil Mauger has recommended the city host the 2030 Games, and Christchurch city councillors voted to run a viability report.

Mauger hopes an event of this scale will help turn Christchurch into the sporting and events capital of New Zealand.

"We have all these fantastic new facilities, and I want to showcase our facilities to the world. We will, however, have to share the load across the country."
