# Okains Bay, Christchurch 92 council reports since February 2017, the 99th busiest suburb in the city. 67 photographs on record. 570 people at the 2023 Census, 5 to the square kilometre across 122 km². https://www.chch.live/okains-bay ## Live source links Link-outs to the source’s own live pages, chch.live does not copy their live values or source text. - [Christchurch City Council What’s On](https://www.ccc.govt.nz/news-and-events/whats-on) - [Christchurch City Libraries events](https://my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/events/) ## The encyclopaedia on it Okains Bay is a settlement, beach and bay on the Banks Peninsula in the South Island of New Zealand. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okains_Bay), a tertiary source Population: Stats NZ 2023 Census Statistical Area 2 counts summed over the suburb’s own areas, as Wikipedia maps them; the area is measured from the suburb boundary. ## 2023 Census snapshot About 651 people and 276 occupied private households, grouped from 6 SA1 areas in Banks Peninsula Eastern Bays, Diamond Harbour. A wider statistical area stands in for this suburb, so this is a proxy rather than a count for the suburb boundary. - Under 15: about 15% (99 people) - 65 and over: about 27% (174 people) - Born overseas: about 19% of stated birthplace - European ethnicity: about 93% of ethnicity responses Ethnicity is a multiple-response measure, so those percentages are not meant to add to 100%. Stats NZ uses fixed random rounding to base 3; unavailable or confidential cells are left out, not treated as zero.

The whole roll is at [/wards](https://www.chch.live/wards). ## How fast the council fixes things here (251 finished jobs on record) The median council work order pinned in Okains Bay took **4 weeks** to resolve, the city-wide median is 3 days, so this ground runs slower than the city as a whole. The slowest tenth of finished jobs waited 7 months or longer. 12 tickets are open here now, the oldest was filed 29 July 2020. Work orders, not resident reports, the council’s MyCouncilTicket stream, and one job can appear in both. A median counts only finished jobs; open ones are named as open, never averaged in. [The ticket roll](https://www.chch.live/fixed) · [the whole city’s fix times](https://www.chch.live/trends#fix). ## Alcohol rules on this ground One sensitive site stands here, Okains Bay School, and the Local Alcohol Policy restricts new off-licences within 50 m of it. The council’s bylaw zones and the Local Alcohol Policy’s buffer list. A ban rules drinking in public places; it says nothing about whether a premises may sell, that is the licence register’s job. ## Lately - [Street Gutters / Storm Water](https://www.chch.live/report/8863274), 4 Sept 2026 · Chorlton Road, “Hello Team Just wondering if you could clean out a 30m section of table drain to reduce stagnant water.
