BID Projects

Christchurch BID is a business-led company whose sole purpose is to improve the BID commercial area – in our case, the Town Centre. Funded by businesses, for the benefit of those businesses, the BID enables us to coordinate investment into our area and delivers projects and services which are in addition to those already provided by the Council. We are a not-for-profit company, created for a five-year term from the ballot in November 2021.

Detailed feedback has suggested that improvement plans for Christchurch should focus around the following four main themes:
