THE CENTRE
OF COMMUNITY

Strengthening the future of Central Christchurch through advocacy, connection and exploration. 

WHO IS

CCBA?

Our goal is to encourage Christchurch people and tourists alike to support the many creative and diverse “pioneers” that have set up their businesses in our emerging new city centre. If you’d like to be part of a collective business voice on issues that matter for the Central City, and you are a land/property owner or business owner/manager in our area, join us today. Our executive committee is elected each year and meets once a month to oversee the CCBA’s work. 

HOW WE CAN

SUPPORT YOU

CCBA is an enabler for Central City businesses, providing support and connections to help your business thrive.

Whether you’re new to business or a Central City institution, as a CCBA member you have an experienced voice on your side. We provide the support your business needs, from boosting your marketing reach to helping with event facilitation.


The CCBA leadership team can…

  • Connect you to people who can help you reach your goals.
  • Provide avenues for feedback and advocate for your business interests.
  • Work with Council and ChristchurchNZ to maximise opportunities.
  • Provide a supportive business community.
