How would you describe Phillipstown?
The narrative describes a low socio-economic neighbourhood, high in the deprivation index, with high crime rates.
We are told that Phillipstown presents a very transient community, ethically diverse and disengaged with decision making mechanisms.

Phillipstown is also one of the oldest neighbourhood in Christchurch and, although the earthquakes destroyed a big part of the historic places, the old villas still remaining in the area remind us of the old times. And "Phillipstown has character": despite the challenges, "it's not up itself", there is a sense of community, people are from all walks of life, friendly and supportive, the trees on the streets are awesome, it is close to everything - CBD, hills, beaches - and there is the Hub! (This is a collection of answers from the Survey "What do you think of Phillipstown, April/May 2020)

We would like to challenge the narrative that has been circulating so far about Phillipstown and to gain an in-depth understanding of our community and our whanau.
The Community Mapping aims at getting a detailed map (of course) of Phillipstown, its assets, strengths, skills, dreams and needs, and will include including businesses, associations, places as well as people.

Thanks to this "better understanding" of our neighbourhood, we will be able to better serve the needs and the aspirations of the people in our community.

How are we going to map our neighbourhood? We have developed a survey: Discovery or neighbourhood which can be filled on line.
Participating in our research is voluntary. The Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust values that participants so generously share personal information with us and we want you to know that we take our role as guardians of this information very seriously. Please, see our Privacy Statement.
We would also like to acknowledge the generosity of our community in helping us have a in-depth understanding of the neighbourhood. For this reason, by entering the Community Mapping Survey, participants will automatically enter the prize draw. Please, see Prize Draw Terms and Conditions.
