Rolleston

Set on the Canterbury Plains, Rolleston is a place whose character is shaped by level farmland, open skies and close links with Christchurch. The plains spread between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers, with the Southern Alps rising beyond their western edge. Rolleston takes its name from William Rolleston, Canterbury’s last provincial superintendent. Rail remains part of its identity: the Midland Line begins here, branching from the Main South Line towards the West Coast. Now within Selwyn District, the town has grown into a major residential and service centre for the wider Christchurch area.
