Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community straddles Christchurch’s western and south-western urban edge in Canterbury, where former farmland on the Canterbury Plains has been absorbed into a growing metropolitan area. Its area brings together the established retail and residential districts of Riccarton and Hornby with Halswell, nearer the Port Hills and the rural plains beyond. Riccarton House, a 19th-century homestead associated with the Deans family, stands beside the Avon River / Ōtākaro as a landmark of early European settlement. Parks, schools and shopping centres give this part of Christchurch an everyday, lived-in character.
