The company originally indicated it would be in a position to pay its first dividend in 2022. Enable, which now delivers broadband to more than 132,000 homes and businesses throughout Christchurch, was established in 2011 to ensure the city had greater access to fibre connectivity to support the city’s growth. The global Covid-19 pandemic presented considerable uncertainty for the year and Enable expected to have 127,500 customers connected to fibre broadband by June 30, Fuller said

Otautahi Community Housing Trust and Enable are teaming up to provide all of OCHT s 2300 tenants free internet. Many of these residents, who all live within the city boundary, had been told they would have to pay thousands of dollars to get access as Enable said it was not cost-effective to install fibre to their homes.
The Christchurch City Council has a 75 per cent ownership stake in Christchurch Airport through its holdings company, Christchurch City Holdings Ltd (CCHL). CCHL was set up in 1993 to shift control of council-owned companies away from the council, depoliticising the running of businesses. Companies owned by the council include Lyttelton Port and lines company Orion. Today, each council-owned company has its own board of directors who oversee operations with a commercial lens. The council has no involvement in the operational side of the companies it owns. In the case of the proposed Tarras airport, buying land in the small Central Otago town was deemed to be an operational decision, so council approval was not needed. Some councillors found out about the project at the same time as the public.

A proposed airport in Central Otago was the target of an Extinction Rebellion protest at the Christchurch City Council. (Video first published in December 2020) Cr Sam MacDonald, who was chairing the meeting, noted the vote was not about deciding whether the airport would be built, but setting a strategic direction. “I think if we were to go down this path of being very specific, very deliberate, we could be at risk of being called The Kremlin, he said, later saying it was an allusion to a situation “where we dictated everything”. “We’re not making a decision today on Tarras, and it’s unfortunate that the debate has become about that.”
