A new motorhome park proposed for red zone land in Christchurch's New Brighton has been given the green light. 

Christchurch City Councillors have approved to lease the land to the Motor Caravan Association for 10 years.

It allows up to 100 motorhomes, with stays of up to 10 days in any 30-day period.

Councillor Celeste Donovan says  now it's time to go through the resource consent process. 

"The way forward should be pretty straightforward from there - of course, the council can always get in the way, but I think there is support for the proposal across the council."
