Burnside Community Directory: Celebrating Community Collaboration

Thanks to the collective efforts of the Burnside Bryndwr Community Network (BBCN), Christchurch City Council, Mursetter Consultants, and local community and sports groups, the inaugural Burnside Community Directory has been completed.

This project exemplifies the power of community collaboration and its positive impact on fostering connections and enhancing residents' quality of life.
