New car yard to help community •From page 1 Vehicle prices at Gateway will range up to $10,000. Discussions are currently under way with several parties about leasing the property, including with the Department of Corrections about a community corrections office being there. Mr Watkinson said the purpose of purchasing the site was to enhance the area. “For us, it was really about making a positive contribution to the area and actually putting it back into some productive use. There hasn’t been much done on the east of Christchurch as far as rebuilding and bringing business initiatives back into the space, so that’s why we’ve chosen that site,” he said. Department of Corrections district manager Lisa Joseph said its previous site was red zoned after the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
