Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board

Papanui Subdivision
The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Christchurch City Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of nine members: six members elected by voters, including two members from your area, and three councillors from the Christchurch City council. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board election.

Environment

Local governments play a central role in protecting the environment, reducing waste and safeguarding biodiversity. The worsening state of New Zealand’s lakes and rivers is a major challenge for local councils, which work with regional councils in the management of water resources in their area.

  • Continue the regeneration of Papanui Bush.

    Protect and enhance our local waterways, especially the Pūharakekenui Styx River.

    Create pocket parks in those areas of our ward which are experiencing housing intensification to ensure local green spaces for all.

  • Preserve and enhance our local natural environment – for example the Styx River/Pūharakekenui catchment.

    Provide travel options to reduce dependence on single-occupant fossil-fuelled vehicles (safe cycling, good public transport, electric vehicle facilities).

    Continue to develop Papanui Bush in partnership with local schools and community organisations.
