Christchurch's Business Association is calling out the food truck plans of the city's Arts Centre.
The centre's applied for licences for 33 trucks to operate 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
But the Christchurch Business Association believes this is unfair, with chair Annabel Turley saying city businesses are subsidising the Arts Centre.
She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the centre is getting $5.5 million over the next decade, and the rate differential for commercial compared to residential is a lot higher.
Turley says food trucks would also cheapen the site.
