Officially opened by Mayor David Ayers on 17 January 2015.
A new water feature will be located in the civic space. The Margaret M Blackwell Trust has made a $30,000 donation towards the water feature.The name ‘Ruataniwha’ is gifted by the Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga. Ruataniwha was an old Ngāi Tahu settlement along the banks of the Whakahume, also known as the Cam River. Ruataniwha was one of the many food gathering settlements along the river leading into Tuahiwi and eventually the tributaries and springs closer to Te Rakiora, modern day Rangiora. Ruataniwha, like its neighbouring villages, Pakiaka and Waituere were all worked by the Kaiapoi and Tuahiwi families, who eventually returned to their main Pa at Kaiapoi during the winter months."
