OUR project

The Cashmere Residents' Association, with the support of the Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board has completed an exercise planned to gain an understanding of what the residents of Cashmere value and then to define a vision of the future.

With that vision the CRA will be better able to advocate on your behalf. Beyond that, with wide community involvement in the exercise, the vision will be useful to other institutions (school, churches, clubs) in the area as they seek to plan for the future as well.

The process was one of community involvement and the outcome shows the  depth and breadth of input we obtained.

This exercise has not been undertaken in Christchurch before and if it works well, then the process will be replicated in other communities.

The project was facilitated by Mary Richardson, our project manager who has extensive experience in community engagement.

Over the last year we

• Asked you for feedback

• Held community meetings and events

• Gathered information and data

• Talked to local groups

We have analysed the findings from our data gathering, consultation and research and have now posted the final report.
