Councillors will vote next week on whether to offer Cracroft Reserve in Cashmere as a potential site for the National Erebus Memorial. The memorial would honour the 257 people killed in a 1979 Air New Zealand plane crash in Antarctica. Council staff have identified the Port Hills location as the preferred site.
