The Purpose of Greater Christchurch 2050

  • B.linc Workshop Lincoln University Campus Lincoln New Zealand (map)

View Anna’s Slides here

Due to the uncertainty of changing COVID levels - we've rescheduled this event from its original date of 14th September to 30th September. We're keeping our fingers crossed that we can deliver this event at level 1.  However, should we remain in level 2, we will still go ahead and adapt the delivery of this event to adhere to all COVID rules and regulations. Should we be moved to level 3 or higher, we will look to postpone and reschedule again for a later date.

The Greater Christchurch 2050 was established to deliver a clear agreed aspiration and positioning of Greater Christchurch, drive and focus of partnership investment and commitment to deliver shared outcomes, partnership and investment agreement between local and central government. This will be done through the development of a new strategic framework and plan for Greater Christchurch, the establishment of an urban growth partnership with central government and working in partnership with mana whenua and iwi.  

Join us to hear from Anna Elphick from ChristchurchNZ as she provides an overview of the strategic framework and share how we influence the urban system of Greater Christchurch.

The B.linc VIBE event series is an opportunity to hear from one of the wider Lincoln precinct companies about their business and to touch base, reconnect and build connections across the precinct.
