Papanui Ward confirmed as part of ECan’s Central constituency

The Local Government Commission has upheld ECan’s final proposal for representation arrangements for the 2025 local election onwards.

This means that Papanui Ward moves into ECan’s Christchurch Central/Ōhoko constituency from the North-East/Ōrei constituency. Residents in Papanui Ward will find themselves voting for Regional Councillors who will represent an area comprised of Papanui, Fendalton, Riccarton, and Central Wards.

This will also perhaps impact which constituency aspiring Regional Councillors living in Papanui choose to stand in.
