Community Boards play a role in representing and advocating for the interests of their local area and make decisions on behalf of the communities they represent.

Within the Christchurch City Council area there are six community boards. Each board is made up of councillors and community board members who are elected every three years in local body elections.

Community Board Plans

A Community Board Plan is a three-year plan that sets out the community board’s vision and priorities for the local community during their term.

The plans guide decisions on local activities, projects and facilities and help the board understand what their communities would like them to advocate for.

They are key strategic documents to be included in the preparation of wider Council planning budgeting processes including the Long Term Plan.

Plans currently open for feedback

Between mid-February and March, the Community Boards will finalise their draft plans and ask for feedback.
