Papanui
Census Area units: Papanui, Northcote, Casebrook
Christchurch
Central City
Profile Area
Papanui is located five kilometres north-west of the Central Business District (CBD) of Christchurch.
Papanui borders three busy thoroughfares which is referred to as the Papanui Junction; Papanui
Road leading to the city, Main North Road that leads to North Canterbury and Harewood Road that
leads to Christchurch International Airport. The wider Papanui area also encompasses Casebrook
and Northcote suburbs making up the greater Papanui area. The name Papanui is Māori and
translates to 'big plain' (papa means flat and nui means big).
Papanui is considered a major suburb of Christchurch and is characterised by a significant
commercial, retail, and government service base. These services include the Papanui Library and
Service Centre, Housing New Zealand, and government 'super centre'. The original Papanui Village
is located at the Papanui Junction which many refer to as the entrance to Papanui and the area is
also home to Northlands Shopping Centre on Main North Road, which is one of the largest malls in
the South Island. Northlands is also serviced by one of the three major bus hubs within Christchurch.
There are five primary schools, one alternative school and the one high school that also contributes
to the area by offering community activity through its education, recreational, cultural, arts and adult
education programmes. Papanui is well-served by community and faith-based services, varied
sports and leisure-related organisations. The local Shirley/Papanui Community Board is based in
this area with a boardroom in the same building as the Papanui Library and Service Centre.
The demographics of Papanui are depictive of mainly middle income area. The total population of
the area in the 2013 Census data was 8565, there was an increase of 240 people from the 2006
Census data. 20 per cent of the population is aged over 65 years, which is higher than the regional
average of 15 per cent. This could be attributed to the nine retirement villages within the Papanui
area. The median age for Papanui area is 38.7 years which compares to the median age across the
city of 38.6 years.Key demographics

The above ratings have been based on reach, diversity and participation. For example, bigger
circles tend to be groups that provide a wider range of services, or have large numbers of
participants. They also tend to be groups that are well-networked within the community.
Papanui, Northcote and Casebrook have an excellent representation of groups across the social,
cultural and sporting infrastructure in the area. The infrastructure is made up of eight key community
organisations, 19 sports organisations, more than 11 recreational/leisure groups, 11 faith-based
organisations and two Christchurch City Council-owned and managed meeting venues.
Groups across Papanui/Northcote/Casebrook are strong in reach and impact and well-connected.
Many provide services outside of the zone to people living in the Sawyers Arms and Redwood
areas. There are key groups with strong community development principles, sports clubs with high
participation rates and strong faith-based organisations. There is strong capability in this area for
collaboration and partnership practice.Community resilience mapping

Inclusive of the commercial centre, Graham Condon Recreational and Sports Centre houses an eight-lane swimming pool, children's pool, a gymnasium and sports hall. The sports hall and gymnasium is a joint facility with Papanui High School. The Graham Condon facility and Northlands Mall are within the same block and attract large patronage from across the city on a daily basis. With the large commercial base and the smaller area blocks within Papanui there is a lack of central community. There are a number of factors surrounding this, but the key factors are due to distinct and varied groups of people scattered through the zone and the retail/commercial centre being in the centre, making Papanui without a strong focal/gathering point that actually belongs to the community. The Papanui community is slightly older than the regional average and this is reflected in the many varied services and the nine Retirement Villages within this community. Papanui is extremely well resourced for local youth, with strong youth agencies/programmes and collaboration between agencies. Papanui has a youth facility that was purpose-built in 2007 and hosts a music and recording room, craft room, climbing wall, gaming rooms, computer suite, lounge area and a hall that joins the facilities together. These facilities work in partnership to target the whole community. Community groups have demonstrated their capacity to respond to the needs in the community and work collaboratively within some areas. The Papanui liaison meeting allows all groups within this community to come and speak openly about projects and concerns. The liaison meeting is well attended by community groups from Papanui, Redwood, Mairehau and Belfast. The liaison meeting highlights local services and activities and can encourage future collaboration between groups and referrals. There does, however, continue to be a lack of "one" community within Papanui. Papanui has fared relatively well in the post-earthquake environment due to its strong social infrastructure and minimal damage to community assets. The major facilities that have been affected by the earthquakes are St Giles Church, Te Ora Hou and Christchurch North Methodist Parish – all of which lost buildings, but are now in the process of rebuilding in the area and on the existing sites. However, through this loss there have been gains for the community as there is increased collaboration with more local groups working together, utilising each other’s resources more efficiently though all programmes and activities. Groups across Papanui/Northcote/Casebrook are strong in reach and impact and well-connected. They connect with services outside of the zone, particularly within the Sawyers Arms and Redwood zones. There are key groups with strong community development principles, sports clubs with high participation rates and strong faith-based organisations. There is strong capability and further potential in this area for collaboration and partnership practice. Since the earthquakes, there has been an increase in alcohol-related issues within Papanui with the rise of patronage at local bars. The alcohol-related nuisances and disorder resulted as people migrated from the Central City to areas of Papanui with the post-earthquakes closure of the CBD bars. A permanent alcohol ban came into effect on 9 September 2012 and applies seven nights a week from 6pm–6am. Community groups and local residents are very involved with the input of submissions, reports and hearings surrounding this issue. Papanui has seen a dramatic drop in disorderly behaviour due to these efforts, which continue to evolve with time. Built environment Since 22 February 2011, earthquake damage on major infrastructure has been repaired. The most obvious issue facing Papanui is the traffic flows at peak times, specifically on Papanui Road/Main North Road. With the population growth north of Christchurch and these northern residents commuting to work using these main thoroughfares, traffic is a daily issue. This issue should be alleviated, however, once the new northern arterial is built and traffic directed to alternate routes. Residential dwelling damage appeared to be localised rather than widespread in Papanui. Some housing with underground infrastructure has had issues due to the ownership of the asset, but these are being slowly resolved.
There are 76 Housing New Zealand properties (not all currently tenanted) and five Christchurch City Council housing units within the Papanui area, with at least one new joint social housing project planned in the near future within Papanui. There are two Council-owned facilities within the area with Graham Condon Recreational and Sports Centre and the Papanui Library and Service Centre. Papanui is well-equipped with community facilities, with nine in the area available for community usage at reasonable rates. Some of these facilities are currently in the rebuild process and operating at limited capacity – they are taking into consideration the wider needs of the community as they plan their new site layouts. Economic environment According to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand 53 dwellings were sold in the REINZ Northern Inner area (this also includes Belfast, Papanui, Redwood and Bishopdale). The median price rose from $289,000 for the year ending September 2012 to $420,000 for 2013. This is greater than the 13 per cent increase reported by Quotable Value for house values in 2013. The latest figures released on the real estate market for September and November 2013 showed that 37 properties were sold in Papanui; houses were on the market for an average of 28 days and had a median sale price of $485,000. Following further engineering assessments in March 2012, Northlands Mall had nine shops on the west side of the Mall closed for earthquake strengthening. These were reopened in December 2013. Northland continues to be a significant cornerstone for the community and attracts the wider Christchurch community. The Papanui Village Business Association (PVBA) was established in March 2012. They continue to look at innovative ways to revitalise the area and create a welcoming "entry" into the Papanui retail area. There is new growth and commercial/retail activity in Papanui around the intersection of Papanui, Harewood and Main North Roads. There are a number of local services within the area such as doctors, dentists and the like. These services are mainly based around the Papanui business vicinity (Papanui/Main North Road) leading up to the Redwood area. In 2006 there were 917 businesses operating, supporting 5,360 jobs. In 2013 it was reported that there are 886 businesses within the Papanui Profile area supporting 5,190 jobs. Natural environment There are six parks and reserves within the Papanui area, but none of these parks provide any real meeting place for the local community. The largest park within the Papanui area is St James Park but unfortunately this park is not visible to the community and is hidden by mainly residential properties. There have been security issues around this park due the lack of visibility, but unfortunately there is no quick solution. Dudley Creek runs through parts of the south boundary of the Shirley–Papanui ward. Land condition Technical category two (TC2) – Minor to moderate land damage from liquefaction is possible in future significant earthquakes. Repair/rebuild process can begin. Technical category three (TC3) – Moderate to significant land damage from liquefaction is possible in future significant earthquakes. Repair/rebuild process can begin on buildings that do not require foundation repair or rebuild. Site-specific investigation is required for those that do. Following the land announcements on 28 October 2011, the new Department of Building and Housing (DBH) technical classifications classified some residential properties as yellow (TC2) and blue (TC3).
Area-wide geotechnical investigations undertaken by the Earthquake Commission following the earthquakes of 4 September 2010 and 22 February 2011 state that in the summary of liquefaction and lateral spread for residential land, the area of Casebrook and Northcote had no or little observed ground cracking or ejected liquefaction. Much of the land around Casebrook is zoned TC2, however, pockets of TC3 land exists around Claridges Road, Grampian Street, Cavendish Road, Sturrocks Road, Royleen Street and Tuckers Road.
