Waste free, locally grown: CH Riverside Market opens today

From First Up, 5:54 am on 30 September 2019

Five years ago it was just an idea - but after 18 months of construction and 80 million dollars later - what's poised to be Christchurch's central emporium for food, drink and culture is about to open in a few hours. And developers are hoping it will bring vibrancy back to the central city. It aims to be waste-free, have as much locally grown produce as possible and hopes to attract 10,000 to 15,000 customers a day. One of the developers and owners of the Oxford Terrace precinct, Richard Peebles joins us now.
