Built environment (B)
- (B1) Targeted residential activities around Buchan Park: This action acknowledges that growing mixed-use and medium-density housing in Sydenham will be a key driver to the area’s future vibrancy. ChristchurchNZ is working on a vision and framework for transforming the wider Sydenham and Lancaster Park area into a green and thriving future, mixed-use neighbourhood.
Community wellbeing, culture and heritage (C)
- (C3) Support the Sydenham Heritage Trust: The Sydenham Heritage Trust has obtained a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) for a new building containing a proposed museum, café and tenantable space.
Movement (M)
- (M3) Pedestrian improvements: Proposed aspects of Waka Kotahi’s Brougham St upgrade project (not scheduled for delivery until at least 2024, following detailed design) will likely result in fewer vehicles using Colombo St as a thoroughfare, which will enhance the pedestrian environment and safety.
- (M4) Cycle infrastructure: Waka Kotahi’s Brougham St upgrade project will also improve east-west cycle connectivity.
