A report into the viability of Christchurch hosting the Commonwealth Games took 14 hours to write, after it was requested in January.

The report, commissioned by Mayor Phil Mauger, from Council and Christchurch NZ recommended Christchurch avoid holding a standalone event.

Newstalk ZB has revealed it cost just over $1000 for staff time.

Mauger told John MacDonald the report was a big job for Christchurch NZ, which didn't need rushing.

He says the city wasn't trying to host the Games sometime in the next year, so they just fitted it when they could.

Mauger joined John MacDonald in studio for their regular catchup, giving his thoughts on the Games’ report, high rises in the CBD, and his request the Government does more to address the pokie machine harm in Christchurch.
