Spencerville, New Zealand

Spencerville and the Styx River

Spencerville is a semi-rural town on the east coast of Canterbury, New Zealand north of Christchurch.[1] The town backs on to Bottle Lake Forest and includes a large (1 hectare) park and 80 hectare camping ground.[1] These amenities, as well as wetlands and an animal and bird park make the town a popular camping area for Christchurch residents.[2][3]

After the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the New Zealand Government classified Spencerville land as Technical Category T3.[4] This requires repairers, builders and developers to meet stricter building standards.[4]
