Town of Pegasus is just outside of Christchurch. It's a beautiful town. It's a new town. It's been master planned. It's ready, though, to tackle a housing developer over their beloved golf course. Property developer Wolfbrook has bought 77 hectares of the golf course, which is at the center of Pegasus, and they want to build houses there. Lots of houses. But the community are preparing a bit of a war chest because they'd like to buy back the golf course. They love the golf golf course. They want the golf course. 450 people gathered at the meeting to discuss the purchase. Many more stood outside the meeting room to listen in. It's a big deal. So Matt James is the president of the Pegasus Residence Group, and he joins me now. Good afternoon to you, Matt. G'day, how are you? Good. We've heard what the community wants.
