Minister for Transport Michael Wood announced today the funding to boost the Greater Christchurch Public Transport Futures Programme (‘PT Futures’).

We need to get more people onto public transport, and this announcement is a step in the right direction. The Government’s investment is a win for Greater Christchurch and the environment, and I welcome the opportunity to fast track this work,” Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger says.

Greater Christchurch’s future growth – tell us what you think

23 February 2023

Residents’ views on how Greater Christchurch will develop as its population continues to grow will be at the heart of an ambitious urban growth and transport plan being developed.

The Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti (Urban Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch) are inviting people living in Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri Districts to take part in the discussion to shape where and how their area will grow in the future and how its transport infrastructure can be future-proofed.

The Huihui Mai (let’s come together) engagement opens this week and runs to Sunday, 26 March. It asks if the Partnership’s work on how we accommodate more people and business in Greater Christchurch in the future, while also providing a high quality of life for our people, a thriving economy and protecting our environment, is in line with the community’s aspirations. This work also includes a potential ‘turn up and go’ mass rapid transit system, that both responds to and encourages growth along its route.

Greater Christchurch Partnership releases Interim Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Report

30 June 2021

The Greater Christchurch Partnership has released an Interim Report from the team investigating a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system for Greater Christchurch.

Speaking on behalf of the Partnership, Mayor of Christchurch Lianne Dalziel said the interim results help us understand the feasibility of some mass rapid transit scenarios in the context of long-term population growth, and it has showed that further investigation was warranted.

“The investigation has found that MRT will need to be supported with population and employment growth close to stations along the route,” she said.

“It lends support to work the Partnership has already began to plan for, such as the development of a Greater Christchurch spatial plan to proactively shape our sub-region.”

On behalf of the Partnership, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and the local councils have been investigating the likely implications of various scenarios for a frequent and high capacity public transport connection running north to Rangiora and south-west to Rolleston.

Selwyn District Council has approved a plan outlining the broad location of key elements in the proposed new Rolleston Town Centre.

The Bulk and Location Plan for the town centre, to be developed on what is currently part of Rolleston Reserve, determines at a high level where the various elements of the proposed town centre should be located.

It is based on the Rolleston Town Centre Master Plan, adopted in 2014, and has also been informed by community views, including consultation late last year on the proposed library and community centre.

Mr Reid says the next stage, now that the general locations have been decided, will be to begin detailed designs for the key elements. The first major project will be the new library and community centre – a 2,200 square metre facility which is planned to be opened in late 2019.
