Pegasus is a planned lakeside township in Waimakariri District, north of Christchurch, with a 14-hectare feature lake and a local retail and dining hub. Its businesses include Pegasus General Store and Sunshine Cafe & Moonlight Bar, while Pegasus Golf & Sports Club combines an 18-hole course with a driving range, gym, pro shop and café-bar. The existing community centre at 8 Tahuna Street can be hired for training and meetings; the Council says it will remain bookable until the new facility opens, currently expected in November 2026. Council broke ground on the new 400-square-metre community centre in October 2025, reflecting continuing demand for facilities in the growing township.1,2,3,4,5,6
