The centre will be a part of the network of facilities available across Christchurch.
We’ll definitely include a multi-purpose lane pool, a learn to swim pool, a toddlers' wet play area, a customer services area and the main library space – but the $35.7 million budget can accommodate other features as well.
That’s where you come in.
We want you to tell us what other features are most important to you. You only need to give us your top four picks. We will then use this to help prioritise and make the most of what we can provide.
Pick the four features most important to you, and tell us your thoughts in the comments box.
