THE CENTRE
OF COMMUNITY

Strengthening the future of Central Christchurch through advocacy, connection and exploration. 

WHO IS

CCBA?

Our goal is to encourage Christchurch people and tourists alike to support the many creative and diverse “pioneers” that have set up their businesses in our emerging new city centre. If you’d like to be part of a collective business voice on issues that matter for the Central City, and you are a land/property owner or business owner/manager in our area, join us today. Our executive committee is elected each year and meets once a month to oversee the CCBA’s work.

Often, businesses require images or videos of Central Christchurch to use on websites and social media. We have assembled a library of professional Central City photos and videos for our business to use.
If you can’t find the resource you need,
