The central city is not listed as a separate suburb. What is listed is Christchurch, and that of course goes to the city as a whole. Can I suggest that:

Edgeware is defined by Google Maps, so I've added it to the template. It currently redirects to Edgware (disambiguation). Please discuss if there are any issues. Schwede 66 22:14, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
I thought I'd set up some stubs for missing suburbs. The first redlink that I looked at, Balmoral Hill, does not appear to be a suburb, though. Google Maps doesn't know it, Gordon Ogilvie's The Port Hills of Christchurch doesn't include it, but mentions the 1958 Balmoral Lane subdivision in a single sentence in this substantial book. I'll thus remove it from the list. Schwede 66 19:44, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
I'll remove Hyde Park from the list. Again, it doesn't appear to be a suburb. It's part of Avonhead. Maybe it exists in some people's minds because there's a bus route that terminates at Hyde Park (which is just that - a park). Any comments? Schwede 66 21:23, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Someone might have relevant imformation? There is ambiguity about the spelling of this word. [1] It seems to alternate between places and also within places. My guess is that all these names originated from Lord Lansdowne and has been randomly spelled as pronounced, with a 'd' over time within NZ in various locations. The street in ChCh has different spellings on the signs at each end! LINZ and CCC has two spellings for that street. The South Canterbury settlement and the N Cant farm also varies. There is no info on the library placename list about its origin either. Thanks, Roger 8 Roger ( talk) 00:12, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Paewiki: I'm not sure about the ward structure. Christchurch does not have formally agreed boundaries for its suburbs. As a result, there is always a big squabble over this. The boards have just gone through a big review process and all the ward names will change in coming months. Which wards form a community board will also change. The underlying issue, though, will not go away, and that is that some suburbs are split across different wards. The worst case is probably St Albans, which is divided across no fewer than four different wards. Hence my concern whether this ward or board structure is suitable for Christchurch suburbs.

Redirecting a post I made on the WPNZ noticeboard - I'm curious as to the placement of some outlying areas and whether they should be treated as suburbs. The ones I've identified (with my initial thoughts) are:
Any thoughts on how we could address these would be great. Perhaps a satellite town section, but then where do you draw the line? Kaiapoi? Rangiora? Ashburton? Turnagra ( talk) 20:14, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
