 Vision: A community that is engaged and connected, celebrating its diversity.
About the association
Churton Park was established in the 1970s and now has a population of over 8,200 in 2024 - a figure that is predicted to rise to over 20,000 in the next 20 years.
The Churton Park Community Association (CPCA), founded in 1977, works with the community to understand their needs and to ensure that planners and developers are aware of them in their planning decisions.
To achieve this, we work with local and central government, and with our local community through the Community Centre, schools and local businesses.
We are concerned about public transport, road safety, emergency preparedness, and environmental issues.
We plant and tend native vegetation in our reserves and have provided seats, walking paths, a drinking fountain and hand driers for community use.

🌿 Have Your Say | Outer Green Belt Reserve Classification 🌿![]()

Wellington City Council is consulting on proposals to formally classify seven areas of reserve land within the Outer Green Belt as Scenic Reserves under the Reserves Act 1977.![]()

One of the areas proposed is 268 Ohariu Valley Road, Ohariu / Churton Park, so we wanted to make sure our local community is aware of the consultation.![]()

The land is already held as reserve land. The proposal is to give it a formal Scenic Reserve (B) classification, which would guide how the land is protected, managed, restored and used into the future.![]()

🌱 What does Scenic Reserve (B) mean?![]()
This classification applies to land where scenic values are expected to increase over time through management, restoration and revegetation, with the aim of protecting and preserving those values for public benefit, use and enjoyment.![]()

Council is seeking feedback on the proposed classifications before making a final decision.![]()
