Help plan for the future of the Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre
The Christchurch City Council purchased The Atrium on Hagley Park in early 2022 to turn it into "a hub to celebrate multiculturalism, where diverse ethnicities and people groups can come together to play and learn".
The new 2,000 square metre Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre is scheduled to officially open in March 2024.
The venue will have 14 rooms so can offer plenty of space to accommodate a wide range of activities and programmes.
In order to start planning for the future, the Council would love to hear from groups and organisations whether they are interested in using the rooms at the Multicultural Recreation and Community Centre.
Let us know how you would like to use the Centre by completing the online survey or emailing viviana.zanetti[at]ccc.govt.nz:
- What activity are you planning;
- Number of people involved;
- Day(s) and times - including starting and finishing; and
- Other needs and requirements.
The Council will use the information that is collected to inform the planning as they work towards the opening of the facility.
