New Regent Street is lit up each night, highlighting its heritage facades and attracting people to this landmark street.
The temporary lighting trial on New Regent street during CHCH is LIT winter of 2020 had an overwhelmingly positive response. Thousands of people poured into the street.
The successful trial led to this permanent, colourful outdoor installation to light the unique building features of New Regent Street's treasured heritage buildings from June 2021.
The display creates a safer, more attractive space to visit and explore the street, and the wider Performing Arts Precinct at night.
Property owners and the local business community were key project partners.
