In late 2022, the Christchurch City Council (CCC) sought the opinions of people in the Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour and Koukourarata Port Levy areas to assist with the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning programme. The purpose of the research was to better understand local and community values and priorities in relation to the coastal environment now and in the future, as the impacts of climate change are felt through increased coastal flooding, erosion, and rising groundwater.
Post the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes Christchurch City Council (CCC) prepared nine Suburban Master Plans to assist with the recovery of the city, as part of its Suburban Centres Programme.
CCC consulted with the public to ensure the Plans were in accordance with each community’s wishes and to inform each plan’s development. The plans were then refined to better meet the community’s needs.
The destructive 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes severely damaged much of Christchurch’s sporting infrastructure. This included the main track and field, hockey and tennis facilities being damaged beyond repair.
Council staff investigated possible replacement locations for these facilities before arriving at their preferred option, a joint sports hub at Nga Puna Wai, 83 hectares of land beside Canterbury Agricultural Park in southwest Christchurch.
