The Christchurch City Council is the local territorial authority for the City of Christchurch (including Banks Peninsula). Christchurch City is located on the east coast of New Zealand‘s South Island. Neighbouring territorial authorities are the Waimakariri and Selwyn districts.
Christchurch has the second largest population of all New Zealand territorial authorities after Auckland and is the largest urban centre in the South Island. Christchurch City has a land area of 141,260 hectares. Around 70 percent of this land is located in Banks Peninsula. Christchurch City was named after Oxford University’s Christchurch College, which was attended by John Robert Godley, who is regarded as the founder of Canterbury, the province in which Christchurch stands. The Maori name for Christchurch is Otautahi. The name is derived from a Ngai Tahu chief, Tautahi, who built a settlement on the banks of the Otakaro (Avon River) in the Avon Loop area. Christchurch City is known as the Garden City due to its expansive parks and public gardens.

The Queenstown Lakes District is one of the fastest growing areas in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a diverse landscape spanning 8,719 km2 and includes Queenstown and Wānaka, and the smaller townships of Makarora, Hāwea, Luggate, Albert Town, Glenorchy, Kinloch, Cardrona, Kingston, and Arrowtown.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) provides local government support to the people within these communities. In doing this, the three community goals are always front of mind: vibrant communities, enduring landscapes, and bold leadership.
What QLDC looks after:
• Community well-being and development – policies, surveys, economic development, working groups.
• Environmental health and safety - building control, civil defence, waste minimisation, and environmental health.
• Infrastructure - roading and transport, sewerage, water and stormwater.
• Recreation and culture – facilities, arts and events funding.
• Resource management - land use planning and development control.
How QLDC does this:
• Following relevant legislation, such as the LGA and RMA.
• Engaging with the community early in the process for strategies, plans, and proposals.
• Raising funds for the benefit of the community - through rates on property, fees and licenses, investments, loans and grants.
• Managing, protecting, and conserving the local environment.
• Lobbying Central Government for services and issues relevant to the local community.
• Collaborating with social service organisations, Kāi Tahu, ORC, NZTA, and other organisations to address local issues and needs.
