Greater Christchurch Partnership

Greater Christchurch Partnership

Vision: One Group, Standing Together for Greater Christchurch

Purpose: To take a collaborative approach to address strategic challenges and opportunities for Greater Christchurch. The Partnership is built on a strong foundation of mutual respect and trust, transparency and a strong commitment to achieving best for community, now and into the future.

The Greater Christchurch Partnership is a voluntary coalition of local government, mana whenua and government agencies working collaboratively to address strategic challenges and opportunities for Greater Christchurch.

In early 2022, the Greater Christchurch Partnership Committee and the Crown agreed to form an Urban Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch – the Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee, to work together to advance shared urban growth objectives relating to housing, infrastructure and land use within the context of the Urban Growth Agenda.

These Urban Growth Partnerships are part of the Government’s urban growth agenda to improve housing, land use and infrastructure planning co-ordination and alignment between central and local government and mana whenua in New Zealand’s high growth urban areas.
