Waitaha/Canterbury has the second-largest regional population in Aotearoa New Zealand, and Ōtautahi/Christchurch is our country’s second-biggest city. The way we plan and resource our future urban areas, transport systems, and infrastructure networks has a major impact on our region, and on Aotearoa New Zealand.
We need the right infrastructure and resources in the right place. We need to make decisions about future infrastructure that support the way our people choose to live. We need to get this right to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change and other hazards, and support a growing population in a region that is also home to many unique ecosystems and some of our most valuable productive land.
There are many opportunities to do this in ways that benefit our region, while also reducing the impacts of climate change.

We received a lot of feedback which we are now working through. In October we will be asking you to share your thoughts on some draft policy options for each of the issues outlined below.
