About the Community Board

The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board hold regular meetings that you’re welcome to attend. Anyone can ask to speak to the board about a local issue, activity or project.

The board's main roles are to:

  • Represent and act as an advocate for the interests of our community.
  • Consider and report on all matters referred to us by the council, or any matter of interest to the board.
  • Maintain an overview of services provided by the council within the community.
  • Communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within the community.

Join us for Christchurch Heritage Festival 2024

Christchurch Heritage Festival is on its way again from 12 to 28 October (Labour Day), bringing together a wide range of community events and activities.

The Christchurch Heritage Festival allows us to share the stories of the past that link us to this place. He tātai muka, he tātai tangata – weave together the strands, weave together the people.

Active Heritage - Sports, Recreation and Leisure

This year’s theme looks to explore our heritage in terms of sport, recreation and leisure. Let’s discover how these activities have shaped our diverse communities here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula and the wider Canterbury region.

Whilst it is encouraged, it is not compulsory to relate your heritage event to the theme.

Apply to host an event

If you have a great idea for an event at this year’s Heritage Festival, for example it might be a heritage walk, talk, performance or tour, visit the webpage. Council staff are happy to talk about your event ideas before you apply, as well as how the application process works. To get in touch please email heritage@ccc.govt.nz
