Future Path: Preparing Canterbury for its future


Seminars are continuing for Future Path Canterbury, part of a planning process between local government, business and the community.

Last year, the councils of Canterbury, together with business and community leaders, decided to work together on issues that affect quality of life. This council-business-community partnership is called Future Path Canterbury.

Its first task is to put together a 50-year vision of how the region wants to be.This needs community involvement.

A public seminar series is being held to raise awareness of issues affecting our region — things such as water, transport and economic development — and to stimulate discussion about our collective future.

The seminars are being held in the auditorium of the Aurora Centre at Burnside High School (corner of Memorial Avenue and Greers Road), from 7pm.

The seminar dates and the topics to be discussed are:

  • 26 March — Planning / infrastructure
  • 9 April — Energy and transport
  • 23 April — What makes Canterbury,
  • Canterbury?

At the end of the seminar series, work will begin on developing a series of scenarios for the future development of Canterbury.

Between July and October this year, the scenarios will be taken out for consultation, to allow residents to have their say about how they want Canterbury to be in the future.

Once the consultation is completed, a vision for Canterbury will be written and adopted by Christmas this year.
