Spatial Planning for Greater Christchurch Partnership

TUA supported the development of the Greater Christchurch partnership’s spatial planning process.

The partner organisations involved in the Greater Christchurch Partnership required agreement on the scope of the spatial plan, and how it would be developed.

TUA provided support to the project management team to communicate about the work that had been complete to date, determine the scope and direction of the spatial plan and to develop a plan for delivering the spatial plan. 

Workshops and high levels of collaboration were required to land a plan that was palatable and affordable to the partner organisations and was achievable within their time frames.Further support was required to define it's direction and the core narrative about the distribution of growth between territorial authorities. Highly visual material was provided to support the governance groups to understand the breadth of issues what was most important to the region and how the spatial planning process could be used to identify regional priorities and a direction for the growth in the Canterbury region.
