Consultation has now closed
Consultation on the Christchurch Botanic Gardens Spatial Plan has now closed. People were able to provide feedback from 29 April to 27 May 2017. During this time we heard from 44 individuals and groups. You can read their feedback [PDF, 1.6 MB]and the Board Report.
The plan – which includes two new bridges, a secret garden, an outdoor classroom and a new conservatory – was endorsed by the Social and Community Development Committee on Wednesday 6 September 2017. The plan enables staff to develop a business case for projects to be included in the council's 10-year budget, the long term plan, which will be consulted on in 2018.
Background
The Hagley Park and Botanic Gardens Master Plan is a long term vision that outlines a number of transformational projects. Since 2007, three major projects from the Master Plan have been finished including the development of the new visitor centre and nursery.
The Spatial Plan
Now, to help progress other projects, a Spatial Plan is needed to represent visually how they can be developed. The Spatial Plan shows where important Master Plan projects such as the children’s garden, Gondwana Garden, new conservatory complex and visitor centre bridge could be located.
