Proposed map

In addition to realigning the Christchurch City constituencies we are proposing to combine the Ashburton District with the Ōtuhituhi/South Canterbury constituency. This leaves Waikirikiri/Selwyn (currently in the Ōpākihi/Mid Canterbury constituency) as a constituency on its own.

The two constituencies would be represented by two elected councillors each.

Using this map: To turn off and on the current constituency boundaries and city and district council boundaries click on the square icon in the top right corner of the map. To collapse the legend at the bottom click on the square icon in the bottom right corner.
