Case Example
Greater Christchurch Partnership
McElrea Consulting working in partnership with Great Scott Communications, delivered communications and engagement across Canterbury for the Greater Christchurch Partnership.
This involved working with multiple councils and agencies to engage communities in shaping a long-term regional vision. The programme combined community workshops, stakeholder forums, digital campaigns, and clear narrative development.
The result was thousands of community contributions, strong regional awareness, and national recognition with a PRINZ Award for Community Relations and Engagement (2024).
