CENTRAL CITY

BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

The Central City Business Association (CCBA) supports businesses and property owners in Christchurch’s Central City.

OUR
PURPOSE

The CCBA exists to be an effective representative body for the Central City business community focused on strategy, advocacy, accessibility, marketing and safety. Through supporting and empowering our members, we drive growth in the CBD and cement the central city as the heart of a vibrant, interesting and successful new Christchurch.


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.

HOW DO WE OPERATE?

We are the first port of call for everything Central City. CCBA has a different remit to ChristchurchNZ and the Christchurch City Council; our primary focus is providing supporting for businesses within the Central City. 

You’ll find us working with Council on Central City events, acting as a conglomerate for change and collaboration, and getting out and talking to businesses.
