Community Mapping

What’s the city got? What and where are all the services? What is needed?

The Community Mapping Project is hoping to find out more about the city’s makeup and the social services that operate in Christchurch. The aim is to get a good over all picture of the community, spot trends and use the information to identify gaps and help with planning.

The hope is that this will lead to the best possible match of local needs and resources, whether they are being provided by government departments or local community organisations. Social resources are scarce and it’s up to all of us to make sure every dollar is making a positive contribution to our community well-being.

The Community Mapping Project is a collaboration between Child, Youth and Family, Christchurch City Council, Department of Internal Affairs, He Oranga Pounamu, and representatives of various government departments through Strengthening Families Management Group, and community agencies through Safer Community Council and Healthy Christchurch
