Informing

Four of our team will explain the parts we will all play in making South Canterbury a great place. We’ll introduce ourselves, our roles and the way we align to develop a realisable vision for a thriving community.

 

Discussing

This won’t be a series of formal lectures. We are really keen to hear your views and to spark lively discussions. As the team will explain, the masterplan is still being developed and this is a real chance to get involved, explain what ‘community’ means to you and how we can best create something really special in South Canterbury.

Explaining

Our team won’t be in a rush to finish. We know it’s often easiest to ask questions away from the spotlight, and look forward to answering your questions and hearing your views over coffee.

Enjoying

There will an abundance of drinks, cake and refreshments, so please come to enjoy the session. It will be the first of many and we’d love you to leave with a really positive buzz about the city’s future.
