Directions

Join us for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of three of Christchurch’s key emergency services facilities, designed to operate seamlessly in high-pressure, 24/7 environments.

This guided experience will showcase how these facilities were rebuilt following the 2011 earthquakes to strengthen resilience, operational continuity, and frontline response capability across the city.

Included in the tour
  • Christchurch Central Fire Station (4:00 pm)
  • Christchurch Justice & Emergency Services Precinct (4:45 pm)
  • Hato Hone St John Make Ready Hub (5:30 pm)
Throughout the tour, we’ll explore how these facilities support continuous frontline emergency response, with insights into facilities management, resilience planning, and the operational considerations required to keep critical services running without interruption.

The evening concludes with networking over light refreshments at Café Valentino from approximately 6:00–6:15 pm. Thanks to our sponsor, Dutton Stormwater, an assortment of pizza and nibbles will be provided along with a small bar tab.

We look forward to seeing you there and exploring the facilities that keep Christchurch ready to respond.
