Christchurch's Business Association is calling out the food truck plans of the city's Arts Centre.  

The centre's applied for licences for 33 trucks to operate 12 hours a day, seven days a week. 

But the Christchurch Business Association believes this is unfair, with chair Annabel Turley saying city businesses are subsidising the Arts Centre. 

She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the centre is getting $5.5 million over the next decade, and the rate differential for commercial compared to residential is a lot higher.   

Turley says food trucks would also cheapen the site.

The Finance Minister is pleased the nation's business heavyweights share her values and priorities.

The Herald's annual Mood of the Boardroom survey has found CEOs and board members are more optimistic than pessimistic about the economy.

But they still have concerns about things like energy, living costs, interest rates, cyber security threats and insurance costs.

Nicola Willis says it's good to see New Zealand's business community agrees with the Government's optimism about the economy.

"They're focused on the same things we are, which is - let's get growth happening. Investments, new jobs, more innovation, more exporting. We're on the same page."
