Three days to go!
There are just three more days for you to have your say on the 10 possible combinations of uses for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area, and the things we’ve considered to get to this point.
Feedback closes at 5pm on Monday 6 November and we want to know what you think and whether there's anything else we should consider?
We have just received a leisure attractions market study and added this to the background information on our website. The report identifies potential sports and recreation entertainment opportunities for the regeneration area and/or New Brighton and assesses demand for them. Ranging from 'survivor' adventure parks and yoga pavilions to an electric motor sports park or indoor bike park, the study explores a wide range of options.
There are lots of things to think about before feedback closes. We will then refine our shortlist ahead of a major public exhibition early next year.
Head to our engagement website now to tell us your thoughts.

We are continuing to meet with stakeholders and working hard to consider how their feedback can best be incorporated into the regeneration strategy, including the very special cultural and built heritage values that the Square represents.

Regenerate signs Canterbury Accessibility Charter
Regenerate Christchurch is proud to have signed the Canterbury Accessibility Charter.
Championed by the Earthquake Disability Leadership Group and endorsed by the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), the charter is a landmark document that advocates for the opportunity for all people to live, work, learn, explore and play equally.
We join CDHB, Christchurch City Council, Development Christchurch Ltd, Ōtākaro and Environment Canterbury as organisations who have signed on the dotted line to make Canterbury a model of best-practice accessibility that advocates for places and spaces that are accessible for all people.
“It’s vital that a future Christchurch is one that everyone can enjoy,” says Regenerate Christchurch’s partnerships and engagement general manager Chris Mene.
“Signing this charter displays our commitment to providing safe and accessible areas for all people in the future.”
