Profile
Avon River Waterfront Promenade, Christchurch banner

A new city waterfront has been created along the Ōtākaro/Avon River in central Christchurch with great appeal for pedestrians and making it easier for them to access river front businesses and green spaces.

A key feature is the new City Promenade extending two kilometres through the heart of the precinct on the eastern side of the river, replacing Oxford Terrace. The western side of the river has become a green space with walking and cycling paths.

ECC provided Woody and Maxi Woody Compact street lighting from iGuzzini for the development, that provided pedestrians with evenly illuminated thoroughfares.
