Whether you attended the first session or are joining us for the first time, this event promises valuable insights and great conversations.
Informing
These events give you the opportunity to hear from different specialists within our team. They’ll tell you more about our plans and their roles in enabling a thriving community to live in and around South Canterbury.
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.
