The record behind this
This page is the union of what these public sources say, each fact above names the one it came from. A listing is a lead, not a promise the business still trades:
- OpenStreetMap, named premises drawn and kept current by its contributors (ODbL)
- Christchurch District Plan layers, zones, commercial centres and scheduled heritage items, from the council’s open data (CC BY 4.0)
- Wikidata, the item an OpenStreetMap mapper linked the premises to (CC0)
- Environment Canterbury’s Metro stop record, distances measured here from the pin
- Christchurch City Council’s cycleway layer, lanes, separated paths and the named Major Cycle Routes (CC BY 4.0)
- The business’s own website, read politely by chch.live for contact details the open record is missing, re-checked monthly
- New Zealand Business Number register, the public facts every NZBN entity files (legal name, status, registration date, industry), matched here by name and address
