Aotearoa's biggest demolition job has entered its final stage. This morning media were given a final chance to walk through Christchurch's Lancaster Park before it is completely brought to the ground. The park's grandstands were badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake, and in 2017, $12 million was set aside for it be pulled down. Nicholas Pointon was there.

In Aotearoa, New Zealand people are living longer, alongside a slowing birthrate, the older population is growing faster than the younger population. As people live longer, there is an increased need for social services and support that cater for older persons, including care takers, mental health services, and community groups. Social work plays an important role in an ageing society because it addresses the multifaceted needs for older people. While there has been recent research conducted on the experiences of older persons, none have been undertaken in the unique context of the Eastern suburbs of Ōtautahi, Christchurch, an area adversely impacted by the 2011 earthquakes. This research specifically looks at the experiences of older residents in the East, considering various intersecting characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, available supports, community engagement and relationships to explore the multifaceted experiences and needs of this cohort. This research is a qualitative study influenced by intersectionality and place theories. Both underpinning theories are important in understanding social dynamics, identities, and lived experiences within this community research project. I interviewed nine participants from the Eastern suburbs of Ōtautahi, Christchurch using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis and detailed journaling. The data from these interviews generated the main themes discussed in this thesis: community connections, places with meaning, and accessing social support services.
