Christchurch Central Heritage and History
Christchurch Central was heavily damaged in the 2010 earthquakes and then devastated in the 2011 earthquakes. Christchurch Central reconstruction is now well underway and the district has been significantly redesigned to gain a new modern look. Christchurch Central is bounded by four “aves” namely Bealey Ave, Deans Ave, Fitzgerald Ave and Moorhouse Ave.
