Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre

The Council has recently purchased the Christchurch Netball Centre located at 455 Hagley Avenue with the purpose of establishing a Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre. We'd love to hear your vision for the new centre.

Canterbury Netball will continue to operate in the building until their new facility at Ngā Puna Wai is completed in late 2023.

During the next 12 months, we will be planning this new development, including the establishment of a Trust to oversee the management and operation of the new centre and identifying any physical changes that are required to the building.   

A series of community conversations will be held at the Netball Centre site during August this year.

These conversations will provide diverse communities in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula an opportunity to share with Council their vision for a Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre and to develop a collective set of values, ownership and aspirations that will underpin its future operations.
