We have been collaborating with Design West, a design and placemaking consultancy firm, to help us update the design code. This code is to ensure that new development within Christchurch is of the very best quality, appropriately references local character, supports the identity of Christchurch, and creates places that people value.
The code looks to provide clear, easy-to-follow rules and guidance for design in Christchurch and therefore should be taken as the basis for making design decisions which support the future of Christchurch without harming its current character and identity.
The full document could be viewed through this link.
Our Online Survey has now been closed. We would like to thank you all for taking your time to review the draft Code and for completing our survey.
