The Addington App is now available for people to try out. An official launch will be held at a later date, yet to be arranged.

This App is being developed as a joint venture between the Addington Neighbourhood Association , The Christchurch City Council Heritage Team and Waikato Universty Computer Science Department. It is FREE to download and use.

Please be aware that this App is still in development, so we are still populating the App with information. There are three main parts to the App: People, Places and Walks. All three parts are linked to each other, to give you historical information as you move about the Addington area, using the GPS on your smartphone .

Other walks are currently being developed , including; Literary Streets, Local Artworks ( artworks, statues and murals ), heritage buildings ( pre-1900 buildings still in existence ) and Addington parks / recreational spaces . Once developed, it is planned to make these walks available as downloadable printed maps on this site , for people who do not have smartphones .
