The Strategy vision is for a greater Christchurch for the residents of the area (living south of the Ashley River and north of the Selwyn River) and the Strategy partners, Environment Canterbury, the Christchurch City Council, Selwyn and Waimakariri District Councils and the New Zealand Transport Agency (formerly Transit New Zealand).
The Strategy provides the primary strategic direction for the Greater Christchurch area, including the location of future housing, development of social and retail activity centres, areas for new employment and integration with transport networks. It also establishes a basis for all organisations, not just the Strategy partners, and the community to work collaboratively to manage growth.
The partnership is now working with the Greater Christchurch community to implement the Strategy.
