ChristchurchNZ

ChristchurchNZ is the sustainable economic development agency for the city of Ōtautahi Christchurch. Together we're shaping an economy where people and places thrive.

Mā te mahi, ka hanga he taiōhanga kia ora ai ngā tāngata me ngā wāhi hoki

Our work is focused on making Ōtautahi Christchurch a better place to live, work and play by improving the city's productivity, liveability and attractiveness. The Christchurch Economic Ambition is the pathway for us, our partners, industry and business to achieve this. We need to grow a regenerative economy that brings prosperity, benefits people and the planet and transitions us to a low emission city.

We do this by growing jobs, improving the economic, social and environmental competitiveness of Christchurch businesses, and promoting Christchurch to everyone, from everywhere. We talk to people who want to do business, invest, study and live in our friendly city, because we know what it can offer them. 

We work to enhance our city’s reputation as a place of balance, adventure and opportunity. Our new city is a place where people can build a life they love; a place where they can grow families, grow businesses, grow skills and big ideas. We promote and share this message to wider Aotearoa and the world.

We also enable and deliver urban development projects and activities that support the economic prosperity of the city.

We bring together partnerships to deliver multi-generational community benefit. These partnerships across business, community, iwi and government are informed by evidence-based economic insights.

ChristchurchNZ is an organisation made up of passionate individuals who love Ōtautahi Christchurch. Our work is made possible through funding from Christchurch City Council and a wide range of external partners and sponsors.
