Wigram is a suburb located in the southwest part of Christchurch, New Zealand. It is close to Sockburn’s industrial estates and Hornby’s satellite retail and residential zones. In recent years, the suburb has seen significant growth due to the conversion of Wigram Aerodrome into housing. Wigram is now one of Christchurch’s fastest-growing suburbs after the earthquake. It is located seven kilometres west of the city center.
Sir Henry Wigram, a former mayor of Christchurch who founded a flying school in the suburb in 1916, is the suburb’s name. In 1923, it was officially transferred and renamed Wigram aerodrome. The remainder of the old airfield was divided into the Wigram Skies project after it was closed down in 2009.

The development included six new roads, two new sealed rights of ways, and two new forms. These allowed access to 126 residential lots and six reserves totaling 2.8 ha. It is located at the Heathcote River’s headwaters and has been named Broken Run. Broken Run’s Western portion backs onto Broken Run, which was originally a subdivision that was separated by the Heathcote River. Sixty-one residential lots were created by the subdivision. Two allotments were made available to the Council for reserve and four additional allotments were vested as legal roads.

The Landing is located in the heart of Wigram Skies and provides convenient, modern retail and mixed-use space for Wigram Skies residents as well as greater southwest Christchurch. The first stage of The Landing was completed in mid-2015 and includes retail and office space spread over three buildings as well as a New World Supermarket. Stage Two, was completed in 2017 and includes office space, retail, and hospitality in three buildings. A new Cinema Complex, which has eight screens and can accommodate 48 people, is the latest development.

Wigram Business Park is one of the most popular spots in Christchurch. It is located adjacent to Hayton Stream, and has several reserves that separate it from Wigram Skies. It is home to a distinguished collection of occupiers. This park is highly sought-after by businesses who want to occupy modern, state-of-the-art buildings on high-quality land west of Christchurch.

Wigram also has the Archives New Zealand Repository, Wigram Primary School, and Nga Puna Wai, a large recreational park that is adjacent to each other. There are many smaller parks in the local area. The largest is Te Kahu Park, which is bound by Curtis Street and Dalwood Drive, Porter Street, and Wigram Primary School. It has a children’s playground, and three tennis courts, and is home to the Halswell Wigram Rugby Club.

Wigram was home to 8,226 people in the 2018 New Zealand census.
