Completed projects from the Mid-Heathcote Masterplan fit with the surrounding area, including a new pump track and basketball court on Hunter Terrace, the rebuild of the former South Library and the South Christchurch Farmers’ Market.

Progress to date / actions taken

Design for the new facility now incorporates both the building and its surroundings.

The Board is in agreement with a delay in completing the pump track and basketball part of the project, so that it can be integrated in the design and is safe in accordance with CPTED principles. The Board has also advocated for securing a larger full court space on Hunter Terrace.
