Papanui-Innes Community

The Canterbury Plains define the setting of Papanui-Innes Community — their broad, level terrain has supported a largely residential northern stretch of Christchurch, laid out with straight streets and neighbourhood centres. This community-board area includes suburbs such as Papanui, St Albans, Mairehau and Shirley, positioned between the central city and Christchurch’s northern outskirts. The Pacific coast lies to the east, while the Southern Alps rise beyond the plains to the west. Christchurch, known in Māori as Ōtautahi, was founded in 1850 as a planned settlement associated with the Canterbury Association.
